What is recorded here

Clochan in Eochaill is a featureless subrectangular cairn of collapsed stone, measuring 9.7 by 8.9 metres, sitting in the second field northwest of a local enclosure. It may be the remains of a collapsed clochan, a small shelter or chamber reduced by time and weather to a low ridge of broken rock. The stones still hold the shape of a room, even if the roof and walls have forgotten how to stand.
