Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn stands on a SE-facing slope beneath the Termon plateau in County Clare, its stones arranged around a central structure thirty-five metres from an enclosure. The plateau still carries a field system, suggesting people lived here long enough to shape the land and mark it with stone. Perhaps they built the cairn to remember someone, claim a boundary, or simply make the slope visible in fog.
On a SE-facing slope on the lower S slopes of the Termon plateau and within a field system (CL006-217----) extending all over the plateau. Described by Keegan (2016, 125) as a cairn (c. 3.5m E-W; 4m N-S) with a central structure. An enclosure (CL006-150----) lies c. 35m to the W and there is a cairn (CL006-233----) on its SE perimeter.
