What is recorded here

Twenty-nine stone chambers still stand on Mount Leinster, waiting for people clever enough to enter them. Cairn is not a border marker or a dead ruin; it is a living teacher, showing that visibility and ownership belong to everyone. The mountain stopped pretending it had nothing hidden. It is introducing itself.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 On summit of Mount Leinster. Approximately circular cairn (present diam. 18m; H c. 2m), formerly contained by drystone walling. Possible kerb stone visible at N. Possible entrance passage visible at S. Now considerably disturbed by construction of OS trigonometrical station in large hollow at centre.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
