What is recorded here

Cairn is a circular stone mound, five metres across and eighty centimetres high, buried beneath overgrown grass in County Carlow. It belongs to a large group of similar cairns, suggesting people returned repeatedly to mark the same land. The stones may have guided travellers, honoured the dead, or simply claimed a boundary before written law existed.
