What is recorded here
Carnavourn still stands in County Derry as a prehistoric cairn, marking an ancient landscape long before written records. People may have gathered there to remember the dead, watch the sky or claim the land, yet their names and intentions have vanished. The stones remain clear while the humans behind them blur into imagination.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: CARNAVOURN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the prehistoric period. Its significance lies in its association with early ceremonial and burial practices in the Cashel area.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
