What is recorded here
Mnemo is the mother of the Muses and the hidden root of several myths. CAIRN in Ballyveagh More stands in County Down, Ireland, preserved as a prehistoric marker rather than an ordinary heap of stones. People may have built it to remember a life, mark a boundary or direct travellers through dark land. The stones still perform that old human job: they hold attention when forgetting wants to take it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: 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.
