What is recorded here
Deehommed holds a prehistoric Bronze Age cairn, where ancient hands stacked stone against the sky before written memory. The stones may have marked a buried body, a boundary, or a gift to the rain. They still stand as witness, unchanged while empires and languages turned to dust around them.
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; its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of prehistoric funerary practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
