What is recorded here
Bailín holds a small burial chamber where four stones support a flat capstone facing east at the foot of a rocky cliff. It sits near an ancient track below the Beenarourke Pass, with Loher stone fort visible a short distance north. People may have passed this place for centuries, marking death and direction along the same slope still touched by the Caherdaniel to Waterville Road.
At the foot of rocky cliff along slopes and visible (to a walker) from the main Caherdaniel to Waterville Road. Capstone measuring 1.38 by 1.1m supported by four small stones underneath. Opening facing E. The capstone is c. 0.2m in thickness. Height from top of capstone to ground c. 0.7m. Together with another monument nearby this burial may well have been along an ancient track, just W of where the present road crosses the Beenarourke Pass. Loher stone fort (KE106-015----) is about 1.5 km further N and is clearly visible from this site.
