What is recorded here

Situated on fairly level ground c. 15m N of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-) on Inis Cealtra. A subcircular, grass-covered mound with a flattish top (4.6m E-W; 4.15m N-S; Wth across top 0.9-1.3m). A stone (L 0.34m) set along the perimeter at NE may have been a revetting stone. A second stone (L 0.3m) at S is set perpendicular to the mound. According to the OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, vol. 2, 228) pilgrims went round a station monument at the ‘end of St. Caimin’s church’. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 17 November 2015
