Mounds

Cairn, boundary cairn

What is recorded here

Mounds is a vanished boundary cairn on Carron Mountain, marking the Cork-Limerick county line between Ballyhaght and Streamhill East. It appears only as a small mound on older surveys, while modern satellite views show nothing but rough pasture. The stones may have scattered under pasture, weather or forgotten hands, leaving a ghost of ownership floating in open air.
In rough pasture, on Carron Mountain, on the Cork-Limerick County Boundary along the townland boundaries between Ballyhaght and Streamhill East. One of five boundary cairns (LI055-027002-\-029\030\043----). Not marked on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map or 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Annotated ‘Mound’ on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages. May be the same as CO008-022----.
