What is recorded here
Cairn is a small circular stone ring in County Carlow, Ireland, now half-swallowed by peat. It belongs to a large group of similar markers, suggesting people once walked that land and set stones along it. The peat has closed over the work like a fist, keeping the shape but hiding the reason.
A small circular cairn (diam. 2m; H c. 0.2m) heavily overgrown with peat. Recorded by Ó Murchú (2011, 80) as part of a Master's thesis (Survey number: C32). One of a large group of cairns (see CW026-019----).
