What is recorded here

Cairn is a cairn, unclassified in Inishmurray, County Sligo, Ireland. In a flat arable field by the north-east shore, a long, low mound of grassy rubble measures 8 m long, 4 m wide and 1 m high. Two small hollows mark its upper surface, and meadow grasses and weeds cover the rubble. The shape suggests a kiln or, more likely, a large field clearance mound.

In a flat arable field by the north-east shore of Inishmurray. On level ground within a field by the northern shore, a long, low mound of grassy rubble measures 8 m long (east/west) by 4 m wide and is 1 m high. There are two small hollows in its upper surface. This could possibly be a kiln or, more likely, simply a large field clearance mound. It is strongly colonised by meadow grasses and associated weeds.
