What is recorded here
Clochan in Cathair Coinn, ceathrú An Chaisleáin held two or three conjoined stone chambers, but recent destruction erased them. The loss suggests human hands or careless development struck where curiosity should have protected the shape. What remains is a warning about how quickly ordinary stone disappears when nobody values the hidden life inside it.
Two or 3 clochauns, possibly conjoined, destroyed in recent years (information: D. Ó Conchúir).
