CAIRN: NORTH CAIRN or CARN in Commons

CAIRN: NORTH CAIRN or CARN

What is recorded here

North Cairn or Carn stands in the County Antrim commons, a stone marker preserved without a clear date or builder. It may have guided herds, marked a boundary or honoured a dead person, yet no human name remains attached to the work. The stones still protrude through grass and memory, waiting for a hand to touch them and ask what they watched.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: NORTH CAIRN or CARN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
