MOUND: SLEACHT BHARAIGH MHOIR (The big champion's grave) in East Torr

MOUND: SLEACHT BHARAIGH MHOIR (The big champion's grave)

What is recorded here

Sleacht Bharigh Mhoir still rises in East Torr, carrying the memory of a big champion though no date or name survives to anchor the claim. The mound may have marked a warrior, a beast, or a border dispute forgotten by every living tongue. Its size suggests pride rather than neglect, as if someone wanted the ground itself to remember the weight of what happened there.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND: SLEACHT BHARAIGH MHOIR (The big champion's grave). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
