The National Monuments Service's description
About 40 mounds in a SW-NE line are marked only on the 1910 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. They are on the townland boundary between Meenymore on the NW side in Co. Leitrim (LE012-037----), and Monesk in Co. Cavan, on the SE side. They are situated on a broad, high plateau between Lough Nagloghderg at the SW end and the steep slope at the NE edge of the plateau (L c. 1.2km). Very few of these survive, and those that do are turf mounds marking the boundary between counties Leitrim and Cavan. The are associated with the Ordinance Survey mapping in the 19th century.
