What is recorded here

An oval shadow in green pasture, half-hidden by scrub and uncertainty. Celie O’Rahilly walked past it in 1999 while tracing a power line, giving shape to what the land had kept quiet. The Shannon breathes nearby, tidal and patient, as if remembering more than anyone has written down.

In low-lying pasture, near the angle of a field boundary, c. 390m SW of an inlet of the Shannon Estuary. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in 1999 as a cairn (Site 10) by Celie O’Rahilly when walking the route of a proposed ESB power line. Described as a small cairn covered by scrub. A second similar feature (LI010-129----) lies c. 22m to NW. Monument is visible as a roughly oval-shaped scrub-covered area (approx. dims. 9.5m NE-SW x 5m NW-SE) on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 29/03/2012.
