What is recorded here
Cairn is a boundary marker in County Cork, Ireland. It is not a chambered tomb or an ancient cache. It is a line drawn in stone, separating one claim from another. The chamber and cache belong elsewhere. Drop them.
One of five cairns (15191, 15194, 15195, 15192) shown on 1937 OS 6-inch map near top of Carron Mountain (see 11813), marking the Cork-Limerick border. Not located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
