What is recorded here

Half a metre high and five across, the cairn sits in cutaway bog beside old field lines, its kerb still visible along the south-east arc while grass smothers the rest. People may have stacked those large stones to mark a dead person, a boundary, or a promise made under an open sky. The shallow depression on the west side hints that something was taken, buried again, or simply forgotten.

In rough hill pasture, in cutaway bog. A partially grass-covered, circular cairn (diam. 5m; H 0.4m), consisting of mainly larger stones, features traces of kerbing along the NE-S arc. A depression in the W quadrant of the cairn suggests some disturbance in this area. A series of relict field boundaries (CO115-091002-) is situated to the N and S of the cairn.

A Neolithic cairn, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its kerbed construction and location in a landscape of cutaway bog suggest ritual or funerary function typical of early megalithic traditions in Ireland.
