The National Monuments Service's description
According to O'Rorke (1878, 364), 'between Ballysadare and Ballydrehid, just at the mearing of the two baronies - Leyney and Tirerrill- there is a spot that the neighbours call Clughaun an Erin, from some stone or cairn, no doubt, that formerly existed there'. Not precisely located.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
