The Clonin Earthworks are located on Clonin Hill, between the Monagh River and the Yellow River. They are 800 m (½ mile) west of Rhode.

Description

This barrow is composed of a circular, flat-topped mound enclosed by an inner fosse, surrounded by a fence. It's circular and roughly 30 metres (33 yd) in diameter. The stone and earth bank and the inner ditch are quite well preserved, though partially destroyed in the northeast corner. The top of the mound rises to about 1.5 metres (4.9 ft).
