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.
