What is recorded here
Ballyduff is the old name for Carnmoney, where a Norman borough called Le Coule vanished after repeated wartime destruction. The place still keeps its edge through a large cemetery on Carnmoney Hill, a preserved holy well, and a witch trial that ended in discharge rather than conviction.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cairn; Prehistoric funerary or ritual monument. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial practices and landscape use during the Bronze Age in Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
