This is just to the northwest of Rath Croaghan, it is described as a a fallen four-sided standing stone, 2.78m in length, it has an unusual name maybe some of the language experts might be able to help.
Misgaun Meabh is the old name for Maeve's Cairn on Knocknarea, not sure how it got transplanted here! There's also a Milleen Meva, Meva's Hillock around there somewhere. Dont know if its the same person!

It's all about Queen Maeve and the Dun Cow stuff.

Cheers lads, I bought the visitor guide when I was up there and it is quiet useful if not laid out very well.
Ur right there is a bit of a hillock the is called Mileen Meva, not exaclty the most amazing monumnet just looked like a rocky outcrop to me.
