What is recorded here

Carnglass rises in Carnglass Beg, County Antrim, as a prehistoric cairn where ancient hands may have stacked stone to mark the sky or remember the dead. The beg gives the cairn a lonely, exposed character, while the cairn gives the beg a purpose older than written history. Together they suggest a place where people still valued visibility, memory and the endurance of stone.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: CARNGLASS. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
