What is recorded here

Cairn and its linked companion form a pair of spectacles on a quiet Cork slope, their narrow bridge still visible beneath the soil. Nine radial stones rise from the first ring like the ribs of a forgotten chamber, while the second waits across the bridge. The shape suggests two rooms, a passage and a place where people stood facing south.

In a woodland copse, on a flat terrace of a gentle S-facing slope. The N of two linked cairns consists of a ring of nine radially-set stones (diam. 6m) protruding from the remains of a disturbed cairn (max. H 0.5m). Stones vary in height from 0.2m to 0.57m above the cairn surface. The cairn extends to SW as a narrow (Wth 0.5m) causeway-like feature (L 3m) where it joins with its counterpart (CO060-202002-). Two uprights (max. H 0.57m) protrude from the NW edge of this causeway. The ground plan of both monuments resembles a pair of spectacles.

Radial-stone cairn, likely Bronze Age. Its radial stone arrangement suggests ritual or ceremonial significance, common in early funerary or ritual monuments of the period.
