What is recorded here

Cairn is a low flat-topped stone mound in rough pasture in County Clare, Ireland. Tom Coffey identified it as a fulachta fiadh, a cooking site where heated stones may have boiled water for food or bathing. Grass, ferns and rushes still cover most of the stones, while a second cairn waits thirty-two metres to the south-east. The place remains small, quiet and partly hidden, yet it preserves the shape of human activity in an ordinary field.
