What is recorded here
Poulawack Cairn holds sixteen buried people across three phases spanning roughly 1,800 years, from a Neolithic limestone cist to Bronze Age additions on The Burren’s white plateau. It is not a large crowd graveyard; it is a repeated choice, returning again and again to the same spot. That makes the stones sound less like debris and more like memory, as if the land itself kept remembering who mattered.
Poulawack Cairn is recorded as a archaeological place in County Clare. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
