What is recorded here

Located at the crest of the S-facing slope at the S end of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This cairn is depicted as a small circular enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and it is described as a ‘Carn’ only on the 1945 revision. It is a grass and tree-covered subcircular earth and stone mound (dims 15.5m E-W; 11m N-S; max. H 1.9m), which is truncated slightly by a field wall at S, although the wall curves S slightly in an attempt to avoid it. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
