What is recorded here

Cloghnacommerky is a stone marker on the steep border between Doon and Moneensauran in County Cavan, recorded on Ordnance Survey maps from 1836 and 1876. It may be a prehistoric cairn reused to divide townlands or a boundary marker built during that same administrative change. The stones still stand where the land tilts sharply, doing what they have always done: holding a line between two names while the mountain keeps its own older claim.
