What is recorded here
Cairn and enclosure in Keady, County Derry, date to an uncertain prehistoric time and still carry scheduled protection. The stones may have marked a boundary, a burial or a gathering place, but human hands shaped them long before written record. They stand as a quiet claim that the land was not empty, only unknown.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN & ENCLOSURE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
