What is recorded here

Cairn and a second stone pile sit eighty centimetres apart on a Clare ridge, with a cashel waiting fifty metres beyond. The main mound stretches fifteen metres, rises nearly two metres, and tilts into a shallow cone beneath the open sky. People may have built it to mark a boundary, honour a dead person or gather stones taken from the fields below. Whatever it recorded, the ridge still keeps the shape.

On a raised area of rough pasture and hazel scrub, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-115001-). A prominent stone cairn (15m E-W; 11m N-S; H 1.8m), slightly conical towards the top. Another cairn lies c. 8m to the NNW (CL005-115011-) and a cashel (CL005-115010-) is located c. 50m to the NNW.
