What is recorded here

Tully Mountain rises 1172ft above Galway, carrying a small circular cairn of angular stone at its highest point. The flat top may hide an older shape beneath a later survey marker, suggesting human hands shaped the summit long before modern instruments measured it.

At the highest point of Tully Mountain (1172ft OD), c. 1.6km SW of GA009-030----. Small circular cairn of angular stone (D c. 6m, H c. 1-1.5m). Its top is at present flat but is probably truncated by the small 19th-c OS cairn and modern trigonometric point.
