CAIRN: DONALD'S CAIRN or CARN in Gransha & Ballymuldrogh

CAIRN: DONALD'S CAIRN or CARN

What is recorded here

Donald's cairn still stands in Gransha and Ballymuldrogh, a small heap of stones marked post-medieval but uncertain in true age. The name suggests one man, one gesture, perhaps a boundary or a memory dropped into the field. The stones may have belonged to a farm road, a lost grave, or a child's game grown old. They remain because people kept seeing them as Donald's, not as ordinary rubble.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: DONALD'S CAIRN or CARN. Recorded period: POST-MED; 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.
