What is recorded here

Clearance cairns on a Mayo esker: six low stone heaps, four in a rough east-west line on the south-facing slope and two at its base. They are young by cairn standards, made by removing stones from pasture rather than marking burial or ceremony. Their shape is human patience made visible: repeated bending, lifting, carrying, and piling until the field became usable.

In undulating, hilly pasture, located on the S-facing slope of an esker. Included in the 1996 RMP as cairns on the basis of information from a local source. At this location there are several irregular heaps of stone (Diam. 2-5m; H 0.4m), four of which occur in a rough E–W line on the slope, with two others are located at the base of the slope. They appear to be field clearance cairns of no great antiquity. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 July 2015
