What is recorded here

Eight metres of limestone ridge break the pasture beside a ringfort, catching light on its NE slope while the Burren glimmers distant. The stones may have marked a buried chamber, a boundary, or a name forgotten before writing reached Clare. Whatever it recorded, the ridge still points inward, waiting for a hand to remember what it held.

In pasture, on top of a low rise with a distinct NE-facing slope, having moderate views of a gently undulating landscape and a distant Burren landscape on higher ground NE-S. Referred to locally as a possible cairn. It consists of a linear mound (L 8m NW-SE; Wth 3.5-5m NE-SW; H 0.8m) consisting of small and medium-sized limestones. It is very distinct in profile along its long axis and is sited on the highest point in the immediate vicinity. A ringfort (CL005-047----) is located c. 4m to NW.
