What is recorded here
Carnbuck on Skerry East in County Antrim holds a modern cairn, not an ancient mystery. The official record marks the site as MODERN, stripping the stones of false age but leaving them clear in purpose. People may have stacked rock there recently to mark a path, honour a loss or simply enjoy the small ritual of building. The cairn still stands as a human answer to the sea, visible and unchanged.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: MODERN. 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.
