Cairn

Cairn, unclassified

What is recorded here

Cairn is an unclassified site in County Kerry where a lost map allegedly marked several large grave cairns, but no stones remain visible for anyone to find. The place exists only through a pencilled note and a failed search, turning memory into a hole where markers should stand.
Possible cairn which the Castleisland District Archaeological Survey mentioned that 'a pencilled note records their presence [grave cairns] at this site on the OS 2nd edition maps housed in the Dept. of Archaeology UCC. The note records 'several large grave cairns - John Morissey'. To date this map has not been located. The site was visited by the Castleisland survey and they failed to locate any surface evidence of an archaeological monument here. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 13 June 2022
