Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn, County Clare, Ireland: unclassified, still unrecorded in the public viewer, a stone mark waiting for witness. The absence is not emptiness; it is a invitation to go and see whether the stones are flat, piled, broken or buried. If they remain, they belong to the land and memory. If they are gone, the cavity records what people stopped seeing. Either way the cairn completes itself through attention.
