What is recorded here

A ninety-five-metre sinuous cairn bridges the Clare and Galway border, its western stones already stripped for nearby walls while eastern boulders still mark a deliberate end. Set on a NE-facing saddle between Turlough Hill and Slievcarran, it looks across both counties like a ridge made visible. Two-thirds along, slabs rise in a chamber with no entrance, as if the dead were meant to be reached only through the land itself.

On a NE-facing slope in the saddle between Turlough Hill and Slievcarran with clear views of south Galway and northeast Clare. A long cairn crossing over the Clare/Galway border with most of it in Funshin More townland on the Galway side. An unusual long sinuous cairn (L c. 95m; Wth c. 6m) often comprising large slabs. The uphill or W end has been partly destroyed with stones removed to build nearby walls. At the E end the cairn turns sharply northwards and at the terminus there are some large boulders indicating a formal end to the structure at this point. Two-thirds along its length towards the E are the remains of what seems to be a megalithic chamber indicated by a number of slabs set on edge in the centre of the cairn. The chamber-like structure (c. 5m x 2m) is oriented along the long axis of the cairn. No passage or entrance was identified.
