CAIRN in Carnbuck; Skerry East

CAIRN

What is recorded here

Carnbuck on Skerry East in County Antrim holds a prehistoric Bronze Age cairn, marking the sea edge as a boundary people understood without writing. The stones may have guided fishermen, remembered a death, or simply challenged the Atlantic to take them. Those options are not weakness; they reveal a place where human life still touches the cliff.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cairn; likely a burial monument. Its presence contributes to understanding prehistoric funerary practices in the Carnbuck area.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
