The first is Croghan Hill which is on here (I think you added that site). The other is a tumulus at Forelacka which 19.2m in diameter. Forelacka is somewhere near Kinnity, the OS reference is N208 032. I haven't been to either of these sites but I'm hoping to get to Forelacka soon enough since it's around the corner from me. I have also read that Forelacka has evidence of kerbing and may be a passage tomb....the archaeological inventory has none of this information.
Ive been up on Croghan Hill alright, its a difficult site to get up to and a good walk up from the road. There were loads of cows up there and I recall havent to come back a different way to the way I went up.
Just did a search for Forelacka, looks like a decent sized mound.
