Chambered Cairn (remains of), Breasclete.
On the summit of a small hill, Cnoc a Phrionnsa, to the west of the township of Breasclete, rising about 120 feet above sea-level, some 500 yards north-west of the lighthouse keepers' station at Breasclete, is an almost semicircular setting of four large slabs set on end, and nearly touching. They range from 2 feet 10 inches to 3 feet in height and from 1 foot 7 inches to 2 feet 2 inches in breadth, the convexity towards the north-east, with two small stones towards the east, suggesting the remains of the chamber of a large cairn. All traces of a cairn have been removed with the exception of three blocks of stone of inconsiderable size.(Fig. 48.)
