Airigh Sheanag. Site of cairn. There is a definite local tradition that a cairn at this point was destroyed relatively recently (circa 1880) to supply building materials for houses and dykes. This is the only reference known. Metal arrowheads and spearheads are alleged to have been recovered (whereabouts now unknown).
