What is recorded here
Three unseen townland lines still meet at the Pile of Stones, a smooth conical marker on a broad plateau above Aghavoghil, Cullionboy and Gubinea. It may have been built to let people recognise where one neighbourhood ended and another began, while Lough Aganny waited less than two hundred metres away. The stones do not claim to be grand; they perform a smaller job, giving the border a shape that can be touched.
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 SE-facing slope of a broad plateau at a point where the lines of three unbuilt townland boundaries meet, with Aghavoghil to the N, Cullionboy to the SE and Gubinea to the SW. Lough Aganny is c. 200m to the WNW. This is a conical cairn with flush faces. The boulder marker (LE004-016002-) is c. 40m to the W.
