What is recorded here
No visible stones remain at the triple townland point on the eastern edge of the high Leitrim plateau, yet the 1909 survey still named the buried marker. That absent heap once told travellers which land they had entered before human witnesses could answer. The bog kept the boundary while memory retreated, turning a practical stone pile into a ghost line drawn across open sky.
Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Pile of Stones. It is located at a point where three townlands meet at the E edge of a high plateau in an area of bog. There is no man-made feature visible at this location.
