What is recorded here

Cairn is a sub-circular, sod-covered mound of earth and stone on a hilltop in County Mayo, Ireland. It stands about thirteen and a half metres wide, with a level but uneven top where stones protrude through the grass. The south side blends into the surrounding ground, while the east and west sides remain defined by shallow scarps. The location offers panoramic views, including Nephin Mountain to the northwest, and faint cultivation ridges run north-south across the hilltop nearby.

In pasture, straddling a rise on the crown of a hill, with panoramic views in all directions, including Nephin Mountain to NW. There is gentle rise in ground level immediately to S of the cairn. Sub-circular, sod-covered cairn (13.5m E–W; 12m N–S) of earth and stone, defined by a scarp (H 1.1m at E, 0.8m at W; W slope 3.2m at E, 1.9m at W). The sides of the cairn are well defined, except to S where it grades into surrounding ground level. The top of the cairn (8.4m E–W; 9.8m N–S) is fairly level but has a rather uneven surface broken by stones protruding from the sod. Traces of cultivation ridges on a N–S axis are evident on the hilltop close to and to N of the cairn. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 27 September 2021
