What is recorded here

Clochan marks a collapsed rubble cairn on bare limestone beside an oratory in Ceathrú An Lisín, County Galway. One external corner still stands at the southwest, while the rest has spread into a long low heap. The stones may have covered a body, a boundary or a forgotten prayer. In that case the clochan is not a ruin but a completed act, shaping the land and waiting for people to remember what they did.

On bare limestone c. 100m NE of an oratory (GA119-087001-). It consists of a collapsed rubble cairn (L 9.6m, Wth 4.6m) with one external corner surviving at SW.
