This cairn is much more impressive than that at Parknabinnia (County Clare). It is much larger for one thing, but it is also postioned on the highest point of a much less rounded hill, making it stand out significantly.
The views are simply fantastic and you can understand why anyone would want this to be their final resting place.
The cairn is 25m in diameter and reaches a height of 3m, although its lofty position makes it seem much higher.
The quantity of other monuments nearby make the walk up here worth every effort, but the flora you pass while getting here is what the Burren is all about. With everything in full flower right now it is simply breath-taking.
