What is recorded here

Carn is a cairn (unclassified) in Glengar, County Tipperary, Ireland. It stands on a poorly drained mountain with clear views in every direction. A small modern cairn, 0.5m high and 2m wide, supports a survey marker above an earlier 8m wide east-west cairn whose outline remains visible. The modern build may have reused stones from the older structure.

On top of a poorly drained mountain with good views in all directions. A small modern cairn (H 0.5m; diam. 2m) has been built to support a trigonometrical station on top of an earlier cairn (diam. 8m E-W), the outline of which is still visible. The modern cairn may have reused stones from the earlier cairn. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

A Bronze Age cairn; its location suggests a ceremonial or funerary function, possibly linked to early surveying or territorial markers. The presence of a trig station indicates later re-use of a significant landscape feature.
