What is recorded here
Cairn in County Clare is an unclassified stone heap, but the region is dense with buried chambers and sudden death. The stones may mark a chamber, a boundary or a forgotten victim. Men built cairns to remember or warn, and the field kept that promise long after the names vanished.
