What is recorded here
CAIRN stands in Ballinliss, County Armagh, an unmarked heap of stones from a time before written history. It has watched fields change and people come and go, yet it remains the oldest visible thing in the area. The cairn does not need a date or a name to be important. It is still there, doing what stones do: remembering by staying put.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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.
