CAIRN in Carn

CAIRN

What is recorded here

CAIRN in Carn marks a prehistoric site in County Derry, Ireland, where stones still lie near the centre of the old place. People may have gathered there long before written history, watching weather or remembering the dead. The cairn remains a small challenge to forgetfulness, inviting curiosity about hands that shaped it and lives that vanished.
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.
