What is recorded here
Cairn stands on the ridge between Carrignabinnia and Slievecushnabinnia, marking the boundary between Ballygeana and Carrigeen Mountain in County Limerick. Two other boundary cairns lie nearby, one 190m west and one 40m east, forming a quiet line of stones across rough pasture. The place has faded from modern views, yet it still belongs to the land, holding the shape of old ownership in its position.
