What is recorded here

Cairn, Ballyneillan is a twenty-metre stone mound on a Clare hilltop where five hollows break the flat surface and one hollow exposes the lintel of a buried chamber. Road builders broke the mound in 1874 and 1875, and at least two sets of human remains came from a stone-lined cist, though T. J. Westropp denied a cist in 1917. A working quarry presses in from the south, making the ancient edge feel exposed rather than preserved.

On a slight S-facing slope towards the summit of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 119) as a cairn (c. 2.8m E-W; c. 2m N-S). Another cairn (CL006-228----) lies c. 70m to the NE and there are several more dotted around the plateau.
