What is recorded here

Cairn stands fourteen metres wide on an elevated ridge between Dangan and Kilweelran in County Clare, watching the Burren from a boundary line that has separated neighbours for generations. Its centre is hollow where people took stones, yet two modern walls still meet at its edge as if the old heap remains the heart of the local field system. It is not a polished monument but a lived marker, large enough to hold shadow and strange enough to suggest that the land itself remembers the shapes people make upon it.

On an elevated ridge, on the townland boundary between Dangan and Kilweelran, with impressive views in all directions and within an extensive field system (CL005-104001-). Indicated on Robinson’s (1997) map of the Burren. A large stone cairn (diam. 14m; H 1.2-1.8m). Some possible facing at NW may be the remains of a wall or other structure built into the cairn. Stone has been robbed from the centre of the cairn, creating cavities. Two modern walls meet at the cairn and extend over its E side. A large enclosure (CL005-060002-) is located c. 30m to the E.
