What is recorded here

Cairn in County Carlow, Ireland: a long low ridge about 2.4m, with a tall thin granite stone leaning 45° at its east end. It belongs to a large group of cairns, the kind of place where people once marked memory, boundary or loss before words were wanted. The leaning stone still points like a finger into the dark, inviting you to ask what it remembered.

A long low cairn (L c. 2.4m; Wth c. 0.9m) with its long axis orientated E-W. A tall thin granite stone (H. 0.95m; Wth 0.5m) leaning at a 45° angle is positioned at the E end. Recorded by Ó Murchú (2011, 71) as part of a Master's thesis (Survey number: C14). One of a large group of cairns (see CW026-019----). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 30 October 2013

A Neolithic cairn, likely a simple funerary or ritual monument, dating to the earlier part of the Neolithic period in Ireland (c. 4000–2500 BCE). Its orientation and the presence of a prominent leaning stone suggest possible ceremonial or symbolic significance, though its wider regional context remains unclear.
