What is recorded here

Cist in Sheshymore is a sunken stone chamber in County Clare, Ireland, where two parallel boxes still lie hidden beneath a cairn. One chamber measures nearly two metres across, its flat slabs set on edge like the walls of a forgotten room. People may have placed dead relatives inside before covering them with stones, waiting for rain and time to erase the shape of the living world.

Situated in the N centre of a cairn (CL009-163----). Identified by Paul Walsh and Tom Coffey (SMR file). This cist (c. 1.7m E-W; c. 0.7m N-S) is sunk into the cairn, but it is possible to trace the tops of the single stone slabs set on edge which make up its E and W sides, as well as the central part of the slab on the N side. Another cist (CL009-163002-) is set parallel immediately to the S within the cairn centre. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 5 July 2022

Cist in Sheshymore is a small prehistoric burial chamber, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its association with a cairn suggests it is part of a wider funerary or ritual landscape, though its specific significance remains unclear due to limited recorded context.
