Visit Notes

Sunday, 2nd November 2008

This low cairn sits atop a low peak between Kesh and Carrowkeel. The site itself is very uninspiring, but the views are most interesting. You can just see the other cairns in the immediate area, but the you are given a very impressive view across to Carrowkeel cairns B, K & L. There is a small lake to the south.

It doesn't take much to get up here and there's not a lot of monumnet left to see - it's just 1m high and 10m in diameter - but you get a unique view of some of the Carrowkeel cairns.
