What is recorded here
Cairn is one of a large group of circular stone heaps in County Carlow, each about two and a half metres across and seventy centimetres high. The distinction is a single large boulder set among smaller stones, visible enough to mark but humble enough to overlook. Ó Murchú recorded it in 2011 as survey number C20, giving shape to what the field had already suggested: a repeated gesture, not a one-off mistake.
A circular cairn (diam. 2.5m; H c. 0.7m) which includes one large boulder. Recorded by Ó Murchú (2011, 74) as part of a Master's thesis (Survey number: C20). One of a large group of cairns (see CW026-019----).
