What is recorded here

Pile of Stones is a cairn (boundary cairn) in Coumaraglinmountain, Treenearla Commons, County Waterford, Ireland. The stone piles marked townland boundaries while surveyors created the 1840 to 1841 maps. They appeared as Piles of Stones on the later 1927 map but were absent from the earlier survey because they served that temporary mapping purpose.

This record was formerly classed as 'Cairn possible' in the SMR (1988). Marked 'Piles of Stones' on the 1927 OS 6-inch map, these were not marked on the 1840-1 OS 6-inch map as the 'piles of stones' were placed here as markers for townland boundaries to assist in creating the 1840-1 maps.
