What is recorded here

Cairn is a small boundary marker on the eastern edge of a broad plateau in County Leitrim, Ireland. It belongs to a north-south row of similar stones separating Boleybrack from Dergvone. The 1907 map called it a mound, but it is not an ancient burial or ritual site. People likely stacked the stones so neighbours could see where one townland ended and another began.

Situated at the E edge of a broad plateau. It is one of a N-S series of small cairns (diam. c. 1-2m; H 0.5m) marked only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map on a townland boundary between Boleybrack to the W and Dergvone to the E. It is described on the map in italic lettering as a 'Mound' but this small cairn is not an antiquity. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 September, 2016
