What is recorded here

Carn is an unclassified cairn in County Clare, Ireland. It is a pile of stones set against the sky, perhaps marking a grave, a border or a forgotten event. People may have built it to remember someone or warn travellers away from dangerous ground. The stones still stand even though the reason for their arrangement has faded from local memory.
