What is recorded here
Cairn is a cairn, unclassified in Ballynaglogh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies pasture on the north-facing slope of a slight rise with extensive views to the north, east and west. The circular grass-covered structure measures seven metres across and rises eighty centimetres above the ground. Keane and Farrelly identify it as possible remains of a field-clearance cairn, while a rath lies seventy metres to the northwest.
