What is recorded here
Carn holds a prehistoric cairn, which means people built that stone pile before written history existed. It is not a modern decoration or an abandoned machine. It is a marker, grave, boundary or gift to the rain, and the stones still keep that unknown purpose.
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.
