Loughcrew - Cairn M Cairn M, a fairly ruined site of about 20 m is perched on the top of its own hill at 244 m OD. This hill, Sliabh Rua - the Red Mountain, is really a fourth hill in what is supposed to be a classic triple megalithic complex. It lies about halfway between Cairnbane West and Sliabh na Caillí. When viewed from Cairn L, the November and Febuary cross-quarter day sunrises come up over Cairn M (below).
