What is recorded here

Carn is an unclassified stone cairn in County Mayo. It is a small pile of stones on open land, the kind of mark people make when they want to remember a place, a person or an event without writing it down. The absence of a formal description does not reduce it; it removes the part where human life would have been erased.
