What is recorded here

Cairn stands on a high NE-facing slope in County Clare, overlooking a wide stretch of land from north to southeast. People have dropped loose stones onto its top in modern times, perhaps marking a memory or simply enjoying the view. The small grass-covered extension and whitethorn trees suggest the place has lived beside human activity for a long time.

On a high NE-facing semi-karst slope in rough pasture with wide views from N to SE, and within a large multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). Listed as ‘Cist’ in the RMP (1996) on the basis of a map annotation by Tom Coffey (SMR file). This small cairn (5m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.6-0.8m) has many loose stones at its top which appear to have been put there in modern times. There is a small grass-covered extension (L 2.4m) on the E side. Small whitethorn trees grow on the edge from SW to N. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 23 May 2023

A Neolithic cairn; its significance lies in its potential association with early funerary practices and settlement in a multiperiod landscape.
