    Some distance form Ringrone Graveyard there is a mound which is commonly believed to be an ancient "cairn." It consists of a great pile of earth forming a sudden rise above the ordinary level of the field and is of considerable dimensions. This is undoubtedly an example of the burial-system of early ages in Ireland. The fact that this mound is in the vicinity of Ringrone Castle would lead one to believe that it is the grave of some great person connected with the Castle.
