What is recorded here
The most westerly of twelve features (SL009-002001-; SL009-002002-; SL009-002003-; SL009-002004-; SL009-002005-; SL009-002006-; SL009-002007-; SL009-002008-; SL009-002009-; SL009-002010-; SL009-002011-; SL009-002012-), each indicated with a dot on the OS 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1913 map each bears the designation 'Mound'. They are positioned along the border of Slievemore or Kingsmountain and a series of adjoining townlands to the S. The boundary mounds extend for a total of 1.2km along an undulating S-facing terrace, in elevated mountain pasture overlooking Glencar Lake to the SE. Views are panoramic from E-S-W and but elsewhere obscured by the summit of King's Mountain. In 1991 a fieldworker dismissed these potential monuments as 'clearance cairns' (SMR file). When visited in 2004 no remains were identified (SMR file). These are probably post 1700 AD features.
