What is recorded here
Cairn marked the boundary between Knocknagalty and Drumleagh on a ridge above rough pasture. It appeared as a small mound on later maps but vanished from modern satellite images, leaving only the remembered line where two townlands met.
In rough pasture, on the ridge between Slievecushnabinnia and Galtymore Mountain, on the townland boundaries between Knocknagalty and Drumleagh. Boundary cairn (LI050-030002-) lies 50m to the SE. Not marked on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Annotated ‘Mound’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map as a small circular-shaped mound. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
