What is recorded here

Cairn, County Longford: a low circular stone dome, sixteen metres across, split by a field boundary on the SW slope of Corn Hill. Its smaller part has vanished, a quarry hole bites through the centre, yet from the remaining ridge the land still unfolds in every direction except where higher ground blocks the view. Perhaps people once climbed this slope to mark a life event or watch the weather turn. The stones did not warn against entry; they invited attention, then waited patiently while the world rearranged itself around them.

On the SW slope of Corn Hill; c. 120m to the NE, at the highest point, is a possible passage tomb (LF005-017----). Panoramic views are afforded except from NE–E–ESE where limited by higher ground. This low, circular, dome-shaped cairn (diam. at base 16.2m; max. H 1.2m) is divided into two unequal portions by an ENE–WSW field boundary (which also marks the boundary between the two townlands). The smaller portion, to the NNW (in Dooroc townland), has been destroyed. The cairn material is interspersed with earth and peat and a quarry-hole has been dug into the centre of the monument.
