Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn stands near the summit of the Termon plateau in County Clare, overlooking the Glen of Clab. It measures about four metres east to west and three and a half metres north to south, with a robbed-out central structure beneath its stones. Two other cairns join it nearby, forming a quiet line across the plateau. They may have marked burial, boundary or ceremony, but their exact purpose has faded.
At the N extent and near the summit of the Termon plateau overlooking the Glen of Clab and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 113) as a cairn (c. 4m E-W; c. 3.5m N-S) with evidence of a robbed-out central structure. A cairn (CL009-222----) lies c. 50m to the N and another (CL009-221----) lies c. 100 to the NNE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 8 Decemger 2021
