What is recorded here

No credible facts were supplied for that exact request. The available material contains unrelated website text and a different Dublin cairn, so a genuine account cannot be written without inventing history.
Situated in a forest clearing bordering a forest track in Slievethoul Wood, to the NW of Lugg henge (DU024-008----). This is a semicircular denuded cairn (diam.20m; H 2m). There is a hollow in the centre of the cairn which may be the remains of the large cist or chamber formerly identified by Kilbride-Jones (1950, 315). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 7 July 2018
A Bronze Age cairn, likely a funerary monument, associated with the broader ritual landscape including nearby Lugg henge. Its semicircular form and central hollow suggest possible modification or partial excavation.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
