• DG011-010 Cairn - unclassified
  Description

  This feature, identified by Colhoun (1949, 116) as a 'multiple-chambered cairn', is a small stone-built structure, subrectangular in outline, measuring 1.8m long (N-S) by c. 1.3m wide. Small upright stones set in the ground define three of its sides. The western side, if it exists, is obscured by dumped stones. The feature is somewhat cist-like in appearance, but there is a doubt about its antiquity. The remains of what appear to be boreholes at the edge of two of the structural stones suggest that they have been quarried in modern times, perhaps by blasting. Colhoun 1949, 116; SMR 1987, 11:10; Colhoun 1995, no. 11/46 recte 11/41, 38; RMP 1995, 11:10. The above description was published in the 'Survey of the Megalithic Tombs of Ireland.
