CAIRN?: HUNTERS' CARN in Ballyboley

CAIRN?: HUNTERS' CARN

What is recorded here

Hunters' Carn in Ballyboley, County Antrim, is a mysterious site where ancient people may have stacked stones to mark a hunting ground or honour a lost companion. The name suggests men who chased deer or wild boar through the hills, perhaps gathering at the cairn to share food or tell stories under a wide sky. No date is certain, but the stones still stand as a quiet invitation to imagine the laughter, fear and pride of those who first shaped the landscape with their hands.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN?: HUNTERS' CARN. 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.
