Chambered Cairn in Co. Sligo
Known locally as The Pinnacle as it sits atop Keshcorran Mountain at 359m above sea level. The cairn is un-opened, so it's not known if it has a chamber, but this seems likely. Seventeen caves are located on the western side of the mountain, the subject of many legends as Keshcorran is considered a fairy mountain. Part of the Keshcorran complex which has seven likely passage tombs.
