This is the most North Westerly of three cairns found around the summit of Mullaghcarbatagh mountain. This cairn is similar in size to cairn 1 at the summit, 500 metres to the South East. Unfortunately, this cairn has suffered damage in recent times and isn’t as well preserved as its neighbour on the summit. Some of the stone has been rearranged to form a pile that supports a wooden cross. The base of the cairn remains untouched as a wide, low mound 12 metres in diameter. Currently, the cairn’s height is 1.5 metres, but this would probably have been different prior to the moving of its stone. There are great views to the North and the West from the monument.
