What is recorded here

Indicated is a lost burial ground in County Clare, Ireland. The 1916 map shows a small rectangular enclosure, but by 1997 the earth had been levelled and the surrounding walls erased. The dead may still sleep beneath the pasture, waiting for someone to stop measuring and start listening.

On mixed open karst and rough, overgrown pastureland. A possible burial ground was noted on a Geological Survey of Ireland field map. The 1916 OS 6-inch map indicates a small rectangular enclosure (c. 12m N-S; c. 10m E-W) in the area which may have contained the burial ground. On inspection in 1997 this was found to have been levelled, as were several field walls to E and S. A number of slab walls form a field system (CL006-168----) to the N. A ringfort (CL006-167----) is c. 120m to the WSW. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Ros Ó Maoldúin Date of upload: 4 May 2021

A possible Neolithic or early Bronze Age rectangular stone enclosure; its funerary function suggests it may be a simple cairn or ritual site. Its location on karst terrain may indicate a broader ceremonial landscape, though wider significance remains speculative.
