What is recorded here

Cairn is a burial mound on a steep Clare slope, its collapsed cist still visible beneath grass and flagstones. It stood with a second cairn and wedge tomb, possibly marking a ridge where people buried their dead and watched the valley below. The field boundaries and distant Turlough Hill suggest a busy landscape, not a forgotten one.

On rough grazing near the upper edge of a steep NE-facing slope with panoramic views over the valley beyond and Turlough Hill cairn (CL006-017002-) c. 6.5km NNE. A poorly preserved, roughly circular, grass-covered cairn (14m N–S; 13.8m E–W; H 0.8m), comprising fairly large flagstones with a centrally placed collapsed cist (CL006-035004-) of thin flags. A second cairn (CL006-035002-) and a wedge tomb (CL006-035003-) lie c. 50m NW and 20m SE respectively. Mound and slab walls traverse the field and form part of a multiperiod field system (CL005-160001-) extending over the plateau to the W and into the neighbouring townlands of Cragballyconoal and Eanty More.
