What is recorded here

Cairn is an unclassified sub-circular stone heap in County Mayo, hidden from official maps yet positioned beside a cashel and enclosure above the Keerglen River. Rough mountain terrain slopes steeply toward the water, suggesting the stones marked a boundary, memorial or ritual point rather than a casual pile. People may have gathered there to remember, worship or orient themselves before leaving the valley.

Situated in rough mountainous terrain sloping very steeply down from S to N to the Keerglen River. This cairn is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps.
