What is recorded here
Cairn is a cairn (unclassified) in Cloghleigh (relickmurray & Athassel Par.), County Tipperary, Ireland. The possible cairn measures 5.2 metres north-south, 5.8 metres east-west and stands 1.15 metres high on the east-facing slope of a natural embankment beside Lough Muck. Crude limestone blocks cluster around the edge, particularly in the north-east quadrant, suggesting kerbing, while smaller stones concentrate at the east-south-east boundary where they may be walling remnants.
On the E-facing slope of a natural embankment which runs parallel to the W shore of Lough Muck which is c. 20m to the W. A D-shaped enclosure (TS068-017----) is located c. 60m to the NW. The possible cairn (dims. 5.2m N-S; 5.8m E-W; H 1.15m) is built into the slope and constructed of stones which are covered by an earthen mantle. There are a number of crude limestone blocks (dims. 30-50m) around the edge, particularly in the NE quadrant, giving a suggestion of kerbing and some protruding from the cairn itself. At the edge of the ESE sector there is a concentration of smaller stones which maybe the remnants of walling.
