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. |
