Cairn A (or Carn Caille) has two legends associated with it.
The first refers to the location of the burial place of Queen Maeve's nephew and murderer, Furbaide Ferbend on the summit of Sliabh Uillen (Cairn Hill).
One of the cairn on Sliabh Carbry (in Cairpre Gabra) was indeed anciently called "Carn Furbaidhe".
 The second legend refers to Cairn A (or Carn Caille)and its creation by the Cailleach a Bheara or ancient Hag/Witch who dropped stones out of her apron as she flew over the hill.
This legend is also associated with many Passage grave sites throughout the island of Ireland, such as Carrowmore, Co. Sligo and Carrowkeel, Co. Sligo.
