What is recorded here
Cairn in Laney stands as a prehistoric marker in County Antrim, Ireland. Stones gathered there before written memory, perhaps guiding herds, marking a loss or simply defining a boundary between people and wilderness. The chamber may have held bones, tools or seeds now scattered by time and ploughs. What is certain is that human hands shaped the site long before modern records named it.
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.
