Indicated

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Indicated is an oval cairn in a Galway pasture hollow, built from loose stones and large boulders beside the foundations of an old field wall. It may have begun as a heap cleared from soil meant for cultivation, yet it still marks the edge of a lived landscape near Carramina House. The stones did not need alignment or ceremony to become a place remembered.

The foundations of a field wall surround it. Possibly a field-clearance cairn. Compiled by: Galway Archaeological Survey, UCG Date of upload: 12 November 2019
