What is recorded here

Cairn is a circular stone pile half-swallowed by blanket bog on an east-facing slope in County Cork, Ireland. It is not a monument, a temple, or even a clearly marked burial; it is a small heap of large stones, partly grassed over, sitting in rough hill grazing with another cairn sixty metres to the southeast. Whatever it was made for has been lost, but the stones remain, doing nothing except resisting the bog for as long as they can.

In rough hill grazing, on blanket bog, on an undulating E-facing slope. A roughly circular cairn (3.5m E-W; 3.3m N-S; H 0.4m) which is partly hidden in blanket bog. The cairn contains mainly large stones (max. H 0.4m), many of which are grassed over. There is another cairn (CO115-112003-) c. 60m to the SE.
