The cairn has been much quarried for its stone. There are traces of the kerb still to be found

Coolroe

Cairn(s)

ryaner Oct 10, 2007

Tucked in beside the road, this cairn is in a sad and sorry state. Many trees are now growing on the mound and a lot of the structure has been robbed/quarried away. There is evidence of some kerbing in the south-west quadrant. The area is such a mess that it’s hard to tell which are original stones and which may be field clearance.
