What is recorded here
Carnlea in County Antrim, Ireland holds a boundary marker or burial mound, but no surviving account has said which. That missing word belongs to the place now: a point on the land where human hands worked once and the meaning slipped away. Walk to it and ask why it was built. The absence, not a finished answer, is what makes Carnlea memorable.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN?: CARNLEA. 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.
