Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn stands on a slight south-facing slope towards the summit of the Termon plateau in County Clare, Ireland. It measures about 4.5m north-south and 3.5m east-west, sitting immediately south of a mound wall extending northeast-southwest. Two other cairns lie 140m northeast and 100m southeast along the same wall line, marking a repeated human choice to build on this open ground.
On a slight S-facing slope towards the summit of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 116) as a cairn (c. 4.5m N-S; 3.5m E-W). On OSi Aerial Premium (2012-2018) this looks to be immediately S of a mound wall extending NE-SW. Another cairn (CL006-225----) was noted c. 140m to the NE along the line of the same wall and a cairn (CL006-227----) lies c. 100m to the SE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 8 December 2021
