Rath na dTarbh in the Cruachán complex seems to be coming up as a Ring Barrow quiet a bit. However, talking to a very prominent figure in he world of Irish Archaeology the other day he told me it was unclassified.

Anyone any thoughts on this?, have not seen Waddells latest publication on the site as yet.

I bought a book when i visited it called "Rathcroghan and Carnfree" by Michael Herity and he lists it as a ring barrow.
So that is the reason it is down as a ring barrow. I suppose if it isnt a ring-barrow what is it?
