What is recorded here

Nine kerbstones still mark the edge of a burial cairn on Clare limestone, though grass and time have swallowed most of its depth. The eastern stone has fallen outward like a door flung open, while the others lean or sit flush around an exposed central cist. Whatever lived and died there has returned to the rock, leaving only a shallow circle where the land still remembers shape.

On a shelf of karst limestone in rough pasture and scrub. A low circular grassed-over cairn (basal dims. 11.2m E-W; H 0.4m). Most of the cairn material has been removed but a number of kerbstones (L 0.5-1.8m; H 0.3-0.4m; Wth 0.25m) survive: three are visible between E and S, two at WSW and four between W and N. The kerbstone at E is dislodged and has fallen outwards and the other two are leaning outwards. Those at SW are flush with the interior. A cist (CL016-156002-) is exposed in the centre of the interior.

Burial cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its kerbstones and original size suggest it was a significant communal burial or ritual site, though its exact cultural context remains unclear due to partial destruction.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
