What is recorded here

Cairn, a small stone mound in Creeve townland, County Longford, stood 24 feet across and 4 feet high with a 3-foot pillar on top, according to Dr Keenan's notes. Neither the cairn nor the possible standing stone have been located since. What remains is a ghost of a shape, remembered only through measurement and absence.

Dr Keenan, in his notes on county Longford, refers to a ‘small Carn 24 feet [7.3m] in diameter and 4 feet [1.2m] high with a pillar stone 3 feet high [0.9m] on top of it’, in Creeve townland (Devaney 1981, 97). Neither the cairn nor possible standing stone (LF014-127001-) were located. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 November 2011
