What is recorded here

Half-buried under a swelling turf bank on the Benbo ridge, the circular stone ring waits for someone to dig it free. It marks the exact point where three townlands collide, a small boundary beacon exposed only because the mountain shifted or rained.

Located at a peak on the SW-facings ridge of Benbo Mountain at a point where three townlands meet. A portion of a circular cairn (diam. 5m; H 0.8m) is protruding from a turf bank, with no visible structural features. Cairn (LE011-113----) is further up the ridge, c. 670m to the NE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

A circular cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, possibly associated with ritual or funerary practices; its location at a ridge peak suggests possible ceremonial or territorial significance.
