What is recorded here

Cairn is a lost burial marker inside a rectangular enclosure at the south end of a possible medieval field system in County Kildare. The low circular mound, about eight metres across, held small angular stones and glacial boulders, and it may have covered a dead person kept within a lived landscape. In 1957, a land reclamation project levelled it, removing the visible mark but leaving the place still shaped by memory.
