It probably marks the furthest point whoever built it could be bothered to reach.

Thanks Tortoise. My understanding was that cairns/trigs were placed for visibility from other cairns/trigs and are often not on the actual summit. We climbed Heemskirk in cloud using a gps for guidance, hoping it would clear. It didn't. We went back later and were surprised to find out there was the trig, a cairn and a summit, all different. Next.
Edit. The cairn is from the 19th century trigonometric survey

Neither of the Mother Cummingses, but you're within 20km of the right area.

On the money, L. It's somewhere between where you pop up onto the plateau from the Liffey River and the actual high point further south(west). I vaguely remember the Abels book unusually didn't list that actual high point. Could be wrong about that. Anyhoo, I decided it looked like a nice walk anyway, and it far exceeded my expectations. Delightful! Except for the mess of trees to get through to the top of the highest little knoll...

Bit of an educated guess; I haven't been there before and all of the other possibilities had been asked (i ruled out Drys Bluff because that is a taller peak than any of the ones surrounding it).
Where's this?
