What is recorded here

Laghtgal is a broad, moss-choked cairn on Moynass mountain, large enough to circle but low enough to overlook. People may have stacked stones there during feast, mourning or merely passage, while forestry and time buried the intent. The top still holds smaller stones, perhaps dropped by recent hands, keeping the old boundary alive beneath new growth.

In forestry, on top of Moynass mountain. Circular, heavily overgrown cairn (diam. 13.3m; H 1m); smaller stones on top may have been added recently. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
