On the west side of Loughmacrory lake there is a well-preserved wedge tomb (cairn) with its three roof stones still in place. The entrance to the cairn faces southwest. The area has several standing stones and ruined cairns. Nearby are the stone circles at Copney. To the west is Lough Fingrean with a submerged crannog. An ancient boat was recovered from this lough and is now on display at the nearby An Creagan Visitors Centre.
