• CL033-023 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  On the boundary between Ballyneillan and Bushypark townlands (also the boundary between the baronies of Bunratty Upper and Islands) at the E end of a W-E ridge with a deep active quarry immediately to the S. A flat-topped stone cairn (diam. of base c. 20m; diam. of top c. 10m; H 1.8-2m) with no kerbstones or other distinguishing features visible. Five hollows are dug into the top of the cairn. One of the hollows reveals the lintel of a possible chamber. A report (F94/4497/0001, SMR file) in support of placing a preservation order on the site mentions that the cairn was dug into in 1874-5 during the construction of a nearby roadway and a cist grave containing at least two human remains was discovered. Westropp (1917, 5) however, noted the ‘conspicuous cairn which gives its name to Carran, or Corran Hill on the bounds of Ballyneillan and Bushy Park’ and says that it ‘yielded human and other bones, but no cist’. It is within hilltop enclosure (CL033-023002-). The following images have been uploaded: CL033-023----_01.jpg Cairn from SW. CL033-023----_02.jpg S hollow from N.
