What is recorded here

Clearance work in a wide Donegal field after 1700 AD formed Cairn, a low grass-covered stone pile only thirty centimetres high but three and a half metres across. It sits beside another similar pile and within a large old field system, marking stones removed rather than a ceremony performed. The plain shape records ordinary labour, yet it still occupies the land like a small forgotten witness.

Low field clearance cairn situated inside large field which is one of several fields in a large field system of unknown date. The monument consists of a low grass covered stone cairn (H 0.3m; diam. 3.4m) and apprears to be the remains of a field clearance cairn which is located inside a large field which is part of an extensive field system (DG015-031002-) and nearby stone enclosure (DG015-031). A second field clearance cairn(DG015-031003-) is located 35m to the N. These clearance cairns appear to be post-1700 AD in date. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 02 May 2010
