Eochy's Cairn, a National Monument in the ownership of the State, sits on private property with no dedicated means of public access. Although the Monument is on private land, it can be accessed with the permission of the landowner. Typically, full public access to National Monument sites is best facilitated by the provision of a dedicated, reserved route in the ownership of the State. However, the Office of Public Works regards the current level of access at Eochy’s Cairn as acceptable and has no plans to acquire any further property.
