Visit Notes

Sunday, 21st September 2008

I came across this cairn on my way back from the wedge tomb at Cappaghkennedy (County Clare). I don't think it's recorded anywhere.

It is located in the bottom of a narrow valley between two limestone hills. It is 10m in diameter, grass-covered and stands about 1m tall. All the views are restricted by the slopes around the site.
