Howth Cairn(s) View all content for Howth

From archaeology.ie Class: Cairn - unclassified Townland: HOWTH Scheduled for inclusion in the next revision of the RMP: Yes Description: Located on the summit of Kilrock on Howth Head. This is a circular round-topped cairn (diam. 6.5m; H 2-2.5m). There is a great deal of shattered stone visible on the surface. Kerbstones are visible along E and SW. A trignometrical station is marked at this point and there is the possibility that the cairn was constructed for this purpose. Spectacular views north to Ireland's Eye and east coast.
