What is recorded here

Cairn stands collapsed on a northwest terrace above Knockaunsmountain, its eight metre plinth still marking a chamber that time has emptied. A later shelter clings to its northeast edge, proving the stones kept attracting people long after their first purpose faded. The view stretches unbroken across karst slopes, inviting wonder about who stacked the rocks and what they wished to preserve beneath them.

On a NW-facing terrace in karst landscape on the NW slopes of Knockaunsmountain with commanding views N-W and within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL004-016001-). A roughly circular, collapsed cairn (ext. dims. c. 8m E-W; c. 7.7m N-S) defined by a raised plinth with a possible opening in the NW and possible kerbs located in the SE. A later stone shelter has been built in the NNE extent of the cairn. A cashel (CL004-017----) is located c. 55m to the NNE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 13 June 2022

A roughly circular, collapsed cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age; its location within a multiperiod field system suggests possible ritual or funerary significance in a landscape of long-term human activity.
