What is recorded here

Cairn in County Clare is a small, overgrown stone mound on exposed limestone, listed as a burial place since the 1990s. It stands barely sixty centimetres high, truncated at one edge, with slab-like stones still visible inside its broken frame. Whatever it marked has slipped from memory, but the stones remain: a small heap of intent on ancient ground.

In an area of mixed scrub and exposed limestone pavement. Listed as ‘Burial’ in the RMP (1996), on the basis of a map annotation by Tom Coffey (1994, SMR file). This small, subcircular, overgrown and damaged cairn (3.3m NE-SW; 3m NW-SE; av. H 0.6m; max. H 0.9m at NE) is truncated at NW, with a disturbed area (L 1.8m) extending NW, where irregular and slab-like stones are visible in the cairn’s composition.
