Notes on name: As on neighbouring Slieve Daeane, there is a cairn at the summit of Slieve Dargan, the remains of a passage tomb aligned with the rising sun as viewed from the Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery at two points during the winter. Another is situated on a knoll to the SE at G704 296 and named Cailleach Bhearra's House, just like the passage tomb on Slieve Gullion, Co. Armagh. See Listoghil: A Seasonal Alignment? by Pádraig Meehan for details of the sunrise alignment.

New Part of a treble of small hill summits
by Fergalh
14 Nov 2024
Climbed along with Slieve Deane and Slieve Deane East Top (which is on no list). Started from point A (A71585 28740) and headed up easy enough climb and an interesting trio of hills to climb in Sligo. Great vies from the rocks at the unmarked summit Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1525/comment/24329/
