Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn is a circular stone ring on a rough Kerry ridge, facing Mangerton Mountain. It stands beside another cairn and a possible hut site, suggesting people once lived or marked this exposed slope. Grass and time have softened the edges, but the stones still point south into the mountain air.
In a heavily overgrown area of rough pasture on the S-facing slopes of a ridge, with views S to Mangerton Mountain. A roughly circular cairn (diam. 2.7m; H 0.7m) of both limestone and sandstone stones of assorted sizes. Another cairn (KE067-094003-) is c. 15m to the WNW and a hut site (KE067-094001-) is c. 18m to the SE.
