eminence at the SW. [South West] end of Creagan
Reamhar are the remains of what appears
to have been a cairn. It has to a great
extent been removed but appears to
have measured 64' from N. to S. [North to South] by 77'

construction, one marking the exterior limit
of the cairn, the other some 12' within it
on the N. [North] 13' on the E. [East], 5' on the S. [South] and
16' on the W. [West]. The position in which the
