The National Monuments Service's description
The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838-40) record that 'there is a subdivision of the T.L. of Windgates called Cloone Mhuiris, and Brewer in his beauties of Ireland says, page 282 that: - "The village of Windgates is worthy of notice on account of a Cairn of vast dimensions." But no such Cairn now exists nor is remembered to have existed.' (O'Flanagan 1928, 41).
