What is recorded here
Two cairns stand in County Antrim, their purpose hidden beneath centuries of rain and grass. They may have marked a boundary, a burial, or a moment when someone wanted to be remembered. The stones remain because they were set with intention, even if the intention has faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as A.P. SITE - 2 CAIRNS?. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
