Notes From Elsewhere

Eugene Conwell, a National School Inspector was the first person to study and document the cairns at Loughcrew. While Cairn T is no longer referred to as Ollamh Fodhla's tomb, his identification system for the cairns is still used today.

The cairns were explored in the 1860s, and described by archaeologist E.A. Conwell in a paper to the Royal Irish Academy in 1864
