What is recorded here

Cairn is a cairn (unclassified) in Curraghadobbin, County Tipperary, Ireland. It sits centrally within a hillfort on the summit of Curraghadobbin Hill. The oval sandstone structure measures 18.6 metres north to south and 23.8 metres east to west, reaching 1 to 1.4 metres in height. Stones built up in the north-west sector probably form the trigonometrical station, leaving a central depression elsewhere.
