CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Tirhugh

CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Tirhugh is a prehistoric human marker reduced to a map point because the visible structure has vanished or was never precisely fixed. The absence does not erase the act of building. People may have stacked stone there to mark death, territory, season or memory before any written record existed. The landscape kept the shape of that choice even when the name and exact boundary were lost.
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.
