What is recorded here

Ten metres of stone and grass stand on a Clare rise, watched by hazel thickets and open sky. Tom Coffey marked it as a burial mound in 1994, yet no chest, bone or named dead is recorded beneath its flat top. The west edge is worn, as if carts, boots or time keep taking what they want. Whatever was placed there has stopped answering, leaving only a small round shadow in the pasture.

On a low rise in pastureland with wide views, in an area partly covered by hazel thickets. Listed as ‘Burial mound’ in the RMP (1996), on the basis of a 1994 map annotation (‘small burial mound’) by Tom Coffey (SMR file). This small circular cairn (diam. 10m; H 1-1.4m) has a flat top (4.3m E-W; 4m N-S) on which stones are visible. The sides are grass-covered, and the SW and W edges appear to be slightly damaged.
