What is recorded here

Dranagh Mountain carries six stone rings, suggesting people valued the ridge enough to shape it repeatedly. The top terrace holds one large circular cairn, broad enough for several adults to walk inside and tall enough to mark the horizon. Its centre dips slightly, as if the middle gave way under time or purpose. The surrounding stones scatter like spilled thought, preserving the shape of human attention long after the hands that placed them have returned to dust.

On the top terrace of Dranagh Mountain, a circular cairn (diam. c. 9.5m; H c. 1.65m) with a slight depression at the top and a high concentration of stones scattered around the base. Recorded by Ó Murchú (2011, 64) as part of a Master's thesis (Survey number: C01). One of six cairns (see also CW026-054----, CW026-055----, CW026-056----, CW026-057---- and CW026-058----) which form a cairnfield. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 29 October 2013
