What is recorded here
On Coolnacarrick Hill above Ballaghmore, an irregular cairn marked a boundary before trees and scrub swallowed the open sky. Locals called it Fear Breige, the Hardy Man, as if stones could hold a line against forgetting. The forest now hides what the name refused to release.
Situated in centre of scrub covered woodland on Coolnacarrick Hill. Irregular-shaped cairn of stones located in area covered with scrub vegetation.
