A view of Cairnbane West from an old BOI calendar, which must be from near Cairn N.

Loughcrew - Cairn N

A ruined monument on a knoll to the southwest of Cairn T, at 213 m OD. The cairn was perhaps 19 m in diameter. A nearby standing stone is illustrated by Martin Brennan with an unusual engraving, barely visible today. There is also a more modern cross on the stone.

Brennan claimed the winter solstice sunset, when observed from here, sets behind the Ben of Fore - an unusual shaped hill about 16 Km away, but this has been disputed by other researchers.

Right, the standing stone near Cairn N, looking northeast uphill to Cairnbane east. The remains on Cairns O, P and Q are in the next field.
