What is recorded here

Cairn is a twelve-metre ring of stones in level Cork pasture, overlooking a stream valley and sitting beside another ring-barrow. Its centre dips because people removed stones, perhaps taking memories or simply clearing ground for grass. The two rings face south like quiet watchers, marking soil that has long held human attention.
