Cairn is a circular stone structure in County Carlow, Ireland. It measures about 19m in diameter and sits on a ridge of the Blackstairs Mountains. A separate stone bank circles the main cairn, creating a bold boundary on the open land. The Wexford side shows damage, while the rest remains visible against the sky.
