What is recorded here

Brambles and hawthorn hide the east end, but the west still shows a tall slab piercing the low cairn like a bone through skin. The tomb sits in the southeast corner of a pasture field on a west-facing slope, its long rectangular body stretching across gently undulating Mayo terrain. People may have placed bodies beneath stones, marked lineage, or simply watched the sky from that rising ground.

In the SE corner of a modern rectilinear pasture field, located on a W-facing slope of a natural rise in an area of gently undulating terrain. This unclassified megalithic tomb consists of a subrectangular cairn (12.6m E–W; 5.4m N–S; H 0.4-0.8m) of small and medium-sized stones, with a few larger stones also visible. A single upright slab (L 1.3m; T 0.4m), with long axis aligned N–S, protrudes from the W end of the cairn, rising 0.3m above the top of the cairn; this may be an in situ orthostat. The cairn is largely sod-covered; the E end is obscured by brambles and hawthorn bushes. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 26 January 2021
