What is recorded here

Cairn is a boundary marker in rough pasture on the ridge between Carrignabinnia and Slievecushnabinnia, marking the edge between Ballygeana and Carrigeen Mountain. Two other boundary cairns sit nearby, one 150m to the northwest and one 190m to the east, forming a quiet line across open ground. The mound no longer shows in modern images, but it appeared on older maps as a small circular shape, suggesting people once built it to be seen.
