What is recorded here
Cashlin Sorley Boy remains an unlocated mystery in Barard, perhaps a cairn, castle or cashel lost beneath grass and time. The name itself sounds like a boy who ran ahead of history, leaving behind only a question mark and a map point with no marker. Whatever he built or buried, the land kept his shape secret while men forgot his hands.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Cairn? Castle? or Cashel?: CASHLIN SORLEY BOY (unlocated). 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.
