What is recorded here

Cairn is a cairn (boundary cairn) in Coolnasmearmountain, Glendalligan, County Waterford, Ireland. The stone piles marked townland boundaries while surveyors created the 1840 to 1841 maps. They appeared as piles of stones on the 1927 map but did not mark the earlier survey because they served that temporary boundary work.

This record was formerly classed as 'Cairn (s)' in the SMR (1988). Marked 'Piles of Stones' on the 1927 OS 6-inch map, these were not marked on the 1840-1 OS 6-inch map as the 'piles of stones' were placed here as markers for townland boundaries to assist in creating the 1840-1 maps.
