What is recorded here
Knocknagalty and Drumleagh still draw a line through rough pasture on Galtymore Mountain, but the small circular mound that marked the boundary has vanished from modern views. It resisted forgetting long enough to be drawn on a 19th-century map, yet even that much has become hard to picture. The mountain kept the name, swallowed the stone, and left the two places touching without a visible witness.
In rough pasture, on the SW slope of Galtymore Mountain, on the townland boundaries between Knocknagalty and Drumleagh. Annotated ‘Mound’ on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map. Depicted on the Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map as a small circular-shaped mound. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages.
