What is recorded here

Cairn is an unclassified oval stone pile on a south-facing slope in County Kerry, Ireland. It measures 2.5m north-south, 1.8m east-west and rises 0.4m above rough pasture. Two other cairns sit within 40m, and a relict field boundary marks the edge of the place. The stones still protrude through peat like a forgotten gesture made by someone who watched the Sheen River valley.
