What is recorded here

Log Na Gcapall holds a quiet burial memory above Minard, where a low cairn and forgotten graves marked the victims of an ancient bloody battle. The field itself still carries the name Páirc na Fola, reminding people that blood once soaked the soil before the stones covered the dead. What remains is not grand, but it is honest: a small ridge, a level field, and the expectation that violence there was serious enough to require marking.

Described by Cuppage (1986, 255, no. 807) as follows; 'Cnoc na Fola is a low, sub-rectangular cairn located on the low ridge overlooking Minard to S. The level field in which it occurs is named Páirc na Fola and was traditionally the scene of a bloody battle in ancient times. The cairn reputedly marks the graves of those slain. It measures 7.4 x 8.2m and is 0.6m high. Windele (1838, 155) was informed that a cave containing bones had been found nearby and that graves and bones were frequently revealed during ploughing. The cave may have been a Man-made underground passage but, in the context of the site, is more likely to have been a grave. An Seabhac (1939, 173) mentions that 3 of the standing stones mark the heads of large graves about 15 feet long (4.6m). No traces of these features survive on the surface today'. (See KE054-034----)
