Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn is a hidden field marker in County Clare, Ireland, beside four megalithic structures and a drystone wall. Westropp called it a defaced cist about four feet square, but it no longer shows at ground level. The stones may still lie beneath the pasture, waiting for rain, foot traffic or memory to reveal them again.
In generally level, rough pasture, with rock outcrop close to the surface and a drystone field wall close to S. Described by Westropp (1902-04, No. 10f, 100) as the ‘remains of a cairn….and defaced cist….c. 4ft sq.’ located ‘near (but outside) the west wall of the field’ in which lie megalithic structures (CL035-045001- and CL035-045003-). Not visible at ground level. The site of four megalithic structures (CL035-045001-, CL035-045002-, CL035-045003- and CL035-045005-) are located close to NE, ENE, E and W, respectively.
