What is recorded here
Truskmore Mountain in Leitrim and Sligo claims a modern boundary cairn at its summit plateau edge. People may have stacked stones there to mark the county line or to be seen from a distance on open ground. The pile still performs that old human job: making a vague edge visible.
Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Pile of Stones’ on the county boundary with Sligo. It is located at the SE edge of the plateau on the summit of Truskmore Mountain. This is a modern pile of stones and the same as (SL006-051----).
