What is recorded here
Knockeehavrohinta Mountain still carries a hidden boundary marker between Ballylopen and Ballyshanedehey, though modern conifers and vanished stones have obscured it from human sight. The mound may have guided herds, warned travellers or divided neighbourly claims before it surrendered to soil and root. Its absence on later maps does not erase the line it drew; it only returns that knowledge to the land itself.
In a modern conifer plantation, on Knockeehavrohinta Mountain, on the townland boundaries between Ballylopen and Ballyshanedehey. Not marked on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map or 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Annotated ‘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.
