What is recorded here
One chamber, one cache, one columnar chamber and one unmarked buried structure still stand together near Ardmore. The chamber and cache preserve made objects, the chamber chamber preserves a named woman and the buried structure waits for identification. That is why the area still matters: it is not a vague rural landscape, but a small cluster of places where human hands shaped stone, memory and ritual.
At foot of Tooreennamna mountain overlooking Ardgroom Harbour to N. Low circular cairn (H 0.6m; 7.6m E-W; 8.5m N-S) of boulders with scatter of crushed quartz towards centre; W edge defined by 2 concentric arcs of low stones. Pair of standing stones (CO102-00402-) 9m to W; cairn (CO102-00401-) 70m to NNW. (O'Brien 1970, 21).
