What is recorded here
Cairn is a cairn (unclassified) in Drumcannon, County Waterford, Ireland. Power (1952) identified a local Leacht as the path from the old Tramore to Waterford road into Drumcannon graveyard, though he may have meant Conan's Stone instead. The name and function remain uncertain because Power himself offered both possibilities.
According to Power (1952, 350) a 'Leacht' in Drumcannon was the path leading to Drumcannon graveyard (WA026-017002-) from the old Tramore - Waterford road. He may have intended the stone known as Conan's Stone (WA017-059----).
