What is recorded here

Cairn is a small boundary marker at the E edge of a broad plateau in County Leitrim, not an ancient monument. It belongs to a N-S row of low stone heaps separating Boleybrack from Dergvone, the kind of practical landscape furniture people built to make ownership visible. The 1907 map called it a mound, but its shape and position suggest a living local arrangement rather than a forgotten ritual site.

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
