What is recorded here

Half-buried under gorse and sod on a south-east slope in County Cork, the oval cairn still holds its shape, five metres long and barely sixty centimetres high, with a second cairn waiting sixteen metres to the southwest. It sits among old field boundaries and cutaway bog, the kind of place where people once walked past without thinking the stones unusual. What they set down there, or why they returned to mark it, has gone quiet, but the shape remains, stubborn and plain, holding the hill steady.

In rough hill pasture, in an area of cutaway bog, on a SE-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-106004-). This oval-shaped cairn (5m E-W; 3.8m N-S; H 0.55m) is largely obscured by gorse-covered sod, though some stones are exposed on the top and along the sides. There is another cairn (CO115-106005-) situated 16m to the SW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
