What is recorded here

Cairn is a circular stone pile, five metres wide and barely knee-high, buried under peat on a west-facing slope in County Carlow. It belongs to a large group of similar cairns, suggesting people returned to this place repeatedly rather than marking a single event. The stones may have guided travellers, honoured the dead, or simply claimed the hillside for human memory. Peat has smothered most of them, but the circle still resists forgetting.

On a W facing slope, a circular cairn (diam. 5m; H c. 0.75m) covered in peat. Recorded by Ó Murchú (2011, 81) as part of a Master's thesis (Survey number: C34). One of a large group of cairns (see CW026-019----). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 11 November 2013

A Neolithic cairn; part of a widespread funerary tradition in the Irish landscape. Its association with a larger group of cairns suggests a regional ceremonial or burial landscape.
