What is recorded here

Cairn is a cairn (unclassified) in Clashganny West, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on a gradual west-facing slope of Barranacullia hill in the Knockmealdown mountains, measuring 5.3 metres north-south, 5.6 metres east-west and between 0.35 and 1.05 metres high. The structure contains large sandstone stones and appears deliberate rather than a clearance deposit, possibly marking a burial. A hut site lies 14 metres to the west, while a stone enclosure remains visible across the river valley.

On a gradual W-facing slope of Barranacullia hill in the Knockmealdown mountains. This cairn is part of a complex of enclosures (TS091-009001-; TS091-009007-; TS091-009008-; TS091-009009-; TS091-009012-), hut sites (TS091-009003-; TS091-009004-; TS091-009006-; TS091-009010-; TS091-009011-; TS091-009015-), a possible ring-cairn (TS091-009002-), clearance cairns (TS091-009005-) and a field system (TS091-009013-) identified by Diarmuid O'Keeffe, 1996. A hut site (TS091-009006-) is located 14m to the W and a stone enclosure (TS091-009007-) is clearly visible on the slope across the river valley. A cairn (dims. 5.3m N-S; 5.6m E-W; H 0.35-1.05m) composed of sandstone stones which are quite large. This appears to be a deliberate cairn rather than clearance and may be associated with burial. In Scotland slightly larger cairns amidst smaller clearance cairns have been classified as burial cairns (RCAHMS 1990, 2). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 03 March 2014

A Neolithic cairn, likely dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE, associated with early funerary or ritual practices. Its location within a complex of enclosures suggests it was part of a broader settlement or ceremonial landscape in the Knockmealdown mountains.
