What is recorded here

Half-hidden in gorse and heather on Tooreennamna Mountain, the circular cairn holds loose stones above a faint southern kerb. It sits eighty metres from a hut site, waiting for someone to remember why those rocks were gathered instead of scattered.
In rough hill pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. A circular cairn (5.1m N-S; 4.7m E-W; H 0.45m), which consists of a variety of loose stones, is partially obscured by heather and gorse and is in a disturbed state. The cairn displays traces of a kerb along its SW arc. It is set against outcropping rock at the N. There is a hut site (CO102-041012-) c. 80m to the SE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
