On a high plateau in an area of bog. Marked only on the 1909 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a ‘Pile of Stones’. It is located on the boundary between Cloontyprughlish to the NW and Gortnagarn to the SE, and lies between the pile of stones (LE003-033----) c. 400m to the SW and the precipice at the edge of the plateau, c. 200m to the NE. There is a SW-NE ravine just to the NW. This is a modern cairn with a sub-rectangular base (dims 1.2m x 1.1m; H 1.5m) with a channel running horizontally through the cairn c. 1m over the ground. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 December, 2015
- LE003-036: Booley hut, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE003-036----. Located at the E edge of a broad plateau in rough pasture, and sheltering beneath rock outcrop that rises over it to the W.

Situated on a rise of a high, heather-covered limestone plateau that slopes down gently to the SE. Classified as an enclosure in the SMR (1988) with no supporting evidence. No evidence of an antiquity was identified during inspection in 1994, but a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m E-W; c. 45m N-S) can be seen on aerial images (OSI 1995, 2000, 2005) and Bing (c. 2013).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
