What is recorded here

Located on elevated ground close to a trackway N of Carrickbrack. A relatively small cairn of stones of possible antiquity (Diam. 4.5m; H 1.25m). According to Westropp (1922, 59) it was known as the 'Cross Cairn' or 'St Patrick's Cross'. Difficult to locate as the area is overgrown with gorse. Extensive views of entire coast south to Wicklow.
