What is recorded here

Half a metre high and a metre and a half wide, the pile of stones sits at the summit of a ridge running north from Truskmore, marking the county boundary with Sligo. It appeared in italic lettering on the 1907 OS map as a 'Ple of Stones', yet its small modern shape suggests people kept rebuilding it long after surveyors stopped caring. The boundary between counties is a human invention, but the act of piling stone on stone is not. Someone stood there, picked up what the ridge offered, and made the line visible.

Marked only on the 1907 ed. of the OS 6-inch map (Leitrim 003) on the county boundary with Sligo where it is described in italic lettering as a 'Ple of Stones'. This is a small modern pile of stones (diam. 1.5m, H 0.5m), and it is the same as (SL006-044----). Compiled by: Michael Moore, Date of revised upload: 22 December 2015
