What is recorded here

In rough pasture on a level terrace in the S slope of a NE-SW ridge, with wide views except to the N, and within a relict field system (CL006-164----). Listed as ‘Burial mound’ in the RMP (1996) on the basis of a map annotation (‘mound, cist’) by Tom Coffey, and a note by Paul Walsh referencing a cairn (SMR file). This small subcircular cairn (8m E-W; 7m N-S; H 0.4-0.9m) has quite a flat top (5m E-W; 3.5m N-S). Where not covered by grass, the visible cairn material is mostly flat slabs. There is a large, heavily tilting upright slab (H 0.6m) and other much smaller slabs on the upper slope at N. There is another cluster of flat slabs on the upper slope at ESE. A slight hummock (4m E-W; H 0.3-0.5m) extends from the E edge of the cairn. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 13 June 2023
