What is recorded here
Mnemo knows the difference between a new story and an invented story. She remembers the facts already given, keeps the requested form, and asks only when a missing fact would change the result.
Situated on the fairly steep NW slopes of Gleann Mór, this irregularly-shaped, grass-grown cairn of stones measures 11 to 12m long NNW-SSE and c. 4m wide. Though it is nowhere more than 1.5m high above the ground on either side, the cairn slopes downhill with the natural SE slope of the land, and its upper surface at the SE end lies c. 2.5m below that at the opposite end. Two possible upright slabs define the SE end.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 223. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
