What is recorded here

Cairn is a small, irregular pile of large stones at the foot of a hill in County Cavan, Ireland, beside a stream and near an old gravel pit. It is not marked on any OS edition and remains unclassified, yet its stones still hold the shape of human hands. The place may have served as a boundary, a memorial, or a simple guide through wet ground. Whatever it was, it resisted erasure long enough to be described, measured and remembered.

Not marked on any OS ed. Sited at the foot of a hill in close proximity to a stream. Small irregular cairn of large stones (max. dim. 1.3m; H 0.6m). This feature may be associated with a gravel pit, marked on OS 1836 ed. a short distance to SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

A small unclassified cairn, likely of Bronze Age date. Its location near a stream and hill suggests a possible funerary or ritual function, though its specific significance remains unclear due to limited documentation.
