The National Monuments Service's description

In the area to the E of the dividing fosse and bank of Dunmore (LH020-004001-) are three features (A, B and C), all of which are barrows.

Site A (LH020-004003-) consists of a circular level area (diam. c. 6m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth c. 4m) on N-WSW and outer bank (Wth c. 1.5m) on N-WSW. The fosse and bank are altered by the outer bank of the enclosure on SW-NE.

Site B (LH020-004004-) lies to the N of A, and consists of a level, roughly circular area (diam. c. 8m) with a fosse (Wth c. 3m) and outer bank (Wth c.2m) on the W. The fosse and bank are modified by juxtaposition with the outer bank and Site C to the NE.

Site C (LH020-004005-) consists of a level, circular platform (diam. 2m) enclosed by a fosse (Wth 1.5m) and outer bank (Wth 1m).

The above description is derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991), No. 70, p. 46. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
