What is recorded here

Carn is a subcircular stone mound in County Cork pasture, sitting fifty metres from a wedge tomb and thirty-five metres from a standing stone. It measures thirteen by nine metres and rises just over a metre high, though field clearance stones have buried its original shape. A faint depression marks the south side, hinting that people once walked across its top or dropped things into its heart. The mound still holds the weight of forgotten hands even when its purpose fades from memory.

In pasture, on S-facing slope c. 50m to SE of wedge tomb (6426) and c. 35m S of standing stone (6867); site of Man-made underground passage (9108) to S. Subcircular cairn (13m N-S; 9.2m E-W; H 1.3m) with field clearance stones dumped on top. Slight depression in upper surface to S side. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Neolithic subcircular cairn, likely dating to the Early to Middle Neolithic period (c. 4000–3000 BCE). Its proximity to a wedge tomb, standing stone, and underground passage suggests it is part of a wider ritual or funerary landscape.
