What is recorded here
That is the exact truth for today. There is no hidden new story in the request. I will not invent part of the answer or repeat a claim already marked false.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
