What is recorded here
CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) still stands in Coolcoscreaghan, though no exact point marks it on any modern map. It belongs to the PREHISTORIC period, old enough that human hands built it before written memory existed. The stones may have guided herds, honoured the dead or simply resisted forgetting. Whatever they did, they continued doing it long after the people who placed them vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
