Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn and its lost companions stand on a west-facing slope in County Carlow, a low stone mound no taller than a knee but wide enough to circle twice. They are not forgotten; they are waiting to be seen clearly. The stones have watched rain, shadow and passing life for centuries. They do not need a name to be real. They are a mark of patience, still present on the land.

One of a large group of cairns (see CW026-019----). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 11 November 2013
A Neolithic cairn; part of a wider prehistoric landscape. Its location and association with other cairns suggest ritual or funerary significance.
