What is recorded here

Dooneens holds a linear cairn and eight hidden stones inside a small pasture hollow. The stones may have marked a boundary, a burial or a place where people watched the sky. Grass and forgetting have done the rest.

Described by Quinn and Carroll (2010) as ‘located in pasture on relatively flat ground. Comprises a linear ‘cairn’ of stones within a sub-circular stone setting. The cairn measures 2.1m E/W and 1m in width N/S. It is located in a small hollow surrounded by a possible sub-circular arrangement of stones (8 stones) which are now grass covered.'
