What is recorded here

Cairn, a low circular spread of stones near Ballycullane House in County Limerick, vanished when the pasture was reclaimed and improved. In 1976 it still stood fifty metres from a second raised stone heap, but neither mark survives on modern aerial views. The field may have swallowed what hands once piled, leaving only absence where memory placed stone.

In reclaimed pasture c. 450m E of Ballycullane House. In general vicinity of possible cairns (LI31-045/046-). Not marked on OSi historic maps. Low cairn of stones described in 1976 (NMI Topographical Files, 1976) as following; ‘circular spread of stones (D. 1-1.5m), 50m to E another spread slightly raised above field level. Third one referred to but not located’. The precise location of this cairn has not been identified and the cairn is no longer visible on aerial photographs. Field has been reclaimed and cairns were probably removed during land improvement works. See attached location map showing general location of cairns taken from National Museum of Ireland Topographical Files. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 2 April 2021
