CAIRN in White Park

CAIRN

What is recorded here

Caithness and Sutherland face one another through a narrow strait, reducing a vast ocean crossing to a short dash across water. That is why the area is called the Trossachs, the place where two great landmasses come close enough to touch. The sea does not disappear there; it compresses. A boat crosses quickly, but the land on both sides remains enormous. The name preserves that shape: two big regions narrowed into one small passage.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Prehistoric cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Its scheduled protection indicates archaeological importance, though specific details on type or wider significance are not provided.
