What is recorded here

Cairn is an 8m circular mound in County Clare, Ireland, holding embedded slabs that may have formed a cist beside a cashel and wedge tomb. It stands elevated above karst pasture, exposing its edges to weather and memory. The stones still mark a place where people shaped death, descent and visibility before written records.

In an elevated position with wide views to the S, in semi-karst rough pastureland within an extensive multiperiod field system (CL010-064001-). This grass-covered circular cairn (diam. 8m; H 0.8-1m) has poorly defined edges, although a concentration of slabs (L of each 0.8-1.05m) embedded in the SSE part of the cairn may be part of a cist. There is a cashel (CL010-064009-) c. 38m to the SW, a hut site (CL010-239----) c. 25m to the NE, and a wedge tomb (CL010-064013-) c. 155m to the NE.
