CAIRN in Longmore

CAIRN

What is recorded here

Longmore in County Antrim holds a prehistoric cairn, its age uncertain but its purpose clear: someone stacked stones there and left them for others to see. The act was simple, yet it crossed generations. People may have gathered at that spot to mark loss, celebrate life or orient themselves across open land. The stones still stand as witness. They remember the hands that built them and the skies that watched over them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
