Visit Notes

Sunday, 5th December 2004

Trudging up the boggy hill to reach the standing stone at Keadeen (County Wicklow) I came across this unusual pair of conjoined cairns. They are of different sizes with the larger one being 5m across and the smaller one just 3m. There are several orthostats around the edge of each one, which presumably once formed a kerb.

A line drawn though the centre of each cairn goes straight through the standing stone 100m away up the hill.
