Slieve Bawn
Slieve Bawn or Sliabh Bána〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 (Irish for "white mountain") is a hill in County Roscommon, Ireland. It lies between Strokestown (to the northwest) and Ballyleague (to the southeast). It is the third-highest point in the county, after Kilronan Mountain and Seltannasaggart. ==Archaeology==
The 1837 Ordnance Survey Ireland 6" map shows no indication of any archaeological features atop the hill, but in 1950, when the Holy Year Cross was raised on the hilltop, skeletal remains were uncovered. This suggests that a passage grave once sat atop the hill. Passage graves are usually cairns containing a passage leading to a central corbelled-roofed chamber, which is sometimes a cruciform shape. The edge of the cairn would be lined with kerbstones, like those of Newgrange in County Meath and Carrowmore in County Sligo. Passage graves are usually found in prominent locations, such as hill-tops, with spectacular views. Generally speaking, the less complex the passage tomb the older it is.
