What is recorded here
Cairn is a grass-covered oval mound in County Leitrim, Ireland, standing 2.5m tall with a base spanning 28m by 21m. Its western edge is partly quarried, blurring the line between human making and natural rise, while a small 4.5m by 2.5m cairn sits on the flat summit. The mound may be natural rather than built, yet someone placed stones atop it, marking the shape or answering a voice only they could hear.
In an undulating landscape. This is a grass-covered oval mound (dims of base 28m N-S; 21m E- W; dims of flat summit 15m N-S; 8m E-W; H 2.5m), which is partly quarried at W and may be natural, has a small cairn (dims 4.5m x 2.5m; H 0.3m) on its summit.
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.
