What is recorded here
A tiny stone pile still stands where Aghanlish, Aroo and Erriff meet on a broad Leitrim plateau, marking a boundary line rather than a built fence. The 1910 map gave it no grand name, only “Pile of Stones”, as if greatness had nothing to do with it. People may have dropped stones there for centuries, not to be remembered but to keep three neighbourhoods honest.
Marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as a ‘Pile of Stones’. It is located on a broad plateau at a point where three unbuilt townland boundaries meet with Aghanlish to the NW, Aroo to the NE and Erriff to the S. This is a small pile of stones.
