What a view! This cairn is siyuated on the west slopes of Lugnagroagh Mountain and offer spectacular views across county Kildare as far as Slieve Bloom.
The mound is embedded into the peat and has been dug out, at least seven stones from the kerb project through the surface. The whole hillside is scattered with probable monuments, which I cover in my notes here - Blakestown Upper (County Wicklow).
The whole atmosphere here is one of being caught between times. Below you is rough farming, while behind you on the other side of the hill is modern forestry. This spot exudes peace and tranquility as well as retianing some of the magic that obviously attracted the builders of these monuments to the location.
This site takes a bit of effort to get to, which has obviously helped to preserve some of the above mentioned qualities, and it's well worth the effort - especially if you have a couple of hour to wander around investigating and some time to sit and admire the views.
