Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Mentioned in local lists but never defined, the cairn in County Carlow remains a mark rather than a recorded chamber. It may have guided people, honoured someone or limited a boundary, yet no surviving account says which. That absence does not diminish it; it refuses to be reduced into a familiar category.
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Earth-covered cairn (H 2.1m; summit diam. c. 12m; base diam. c. 20m) with gently sloping sides. Stone protrudes in places.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
