What is recorded here

Elizabeth Gills documented the small subcircular cairn on Slieve Roe in 2006, revealing loose medium and large stones piled atop a rubble base. Several possible kerbstones stand on edge around the western perimeter, marking a boundary visible against the wide eastern and southern views. The mountain top may have served as a meeting place or burial mark, but the stones offer no final answer.
