What is recorded here
Cairn is an unclassified oval stone mound in County Clare, measuring 4.8m by 3.5m and rising 0.8m above a multiperiod field system. Tom Coffey called it a small cairn, yet its shape and height also fit a collapsed animal pen or shelter. Cahercommaun cashel stands 130m to the south-south-east, watching the ridge where the mound still holds its quiet ambiguity.
