What is recorded here

Carn is a roughly circular cairn on the summit of Bruse Hill in County Cavan, Ireland. Modern digging has disturbed the stones, and a triangulation point now stands atop the ancient marker. The place still belongs to the hill, even when human tools have rearranged its shape.

A triangulation point has been erected on top of the cairn. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
