What is recorded here

Piles of Stones is a cairn, boundary cairn in Cabragh (leyny By.),gortakeeran, County Sligo, Ireland. It is the fourth most northerly of ten possible cairns marking a long linear townland boundary on the upper bog-covered slopes of the Ox Mountains. None appeared on the 1837 Ordnance Survey six-inch map, and no remains of this probably post-1700 AD structure are now visible.
