What is recorded here

Cairn is a circular stone burial chamber on a limestone plateau in County Clare, Ireland. People built the visible stone ring and hidden central box during a period when practical cooperation mattered more than monumental display. The completed structure turned a broad landscape into a place where memory could return repeatedly.

On level ground on a plateau of karst limestone in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-032001-). This circular stone burial cairn (4.3m N-S; 4.15m E-W; max. H 0.6-0.8m) is defined by a kerb of drystone walling (H 0.6-0.8m) that can be traced almost all around. Loose stones are banked (Wth 0.5-1.7m; H 0.2-0.5m) against the outer face of the kerb. A cist (CL009-213002-) is centrally placed within the cairn. Another burial cairn (CL009-066001-) lies c. 76m to the WSW and a wedge tomb (CL009-067----) lies c. 204m to the SSW.
