What is recorded here

Carron Mountain still carries five stone boundaries between Cork and Limerick, though grass and time have hidden them from modern cameras. The cairn at Ballyhaght and Streamhill East marked a line people could see, judge and remember without survey tools. It is the kind of place where practical life becomes legend: stones set by humans, swallowed by pasture, awaiting someone patient enough to find them again.

In rough pasture, on Carron Mountain, on the Cork-Limerick County Boundary along the townland boundaries between Ballyhaght and Streamhill East. One of five boundary cairns (LI055-027001-/002-; LI055-029/043----). Not marked on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Annotated ‘Mound’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map and depicted as a small circular-shaped mound on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages. Compiled by: Fiona Rooney Date of upload: 18 November 2021
