What is recorded here

Piles of Stones is a cairn, boundary cairn in Cabragh (leyny By.),gortakeeran, County Sligo, Ireland. It stands seventh from the north among ten markers lining the Cabragh-Gortakeeran border on the upper bog slopes of the Ox Mountains. The post-1700 structure has vanished without visible remains, and none of the ten markers appear on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map.

On the upper bog-covered slopes of the Ox Mountains. This is the seventh most northerly of 10 cairns (see also: SL019-171001-; SL019-171002-; SL019-172----; SL025-147----; SL025-147001-; SL025-147002-; SL025-147004-; SL025-147005-; SL025-147006-) that mark a long linear length of the townland boundary between Cabragh and Gortakeeran. None of the ten are marked of the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. There are no remains of this cairn, in all probability post-1700 AD in date, now visible.
