What is recorded here
Rory's Cairn stands in Craigmore, County Derry, marking a human hand across an uncertain span of time. The stones may have guided a herder, buried a beloved person or simply challenged the sky to notice them. Rory still owns the work, even when the dates have vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: RORY'S CAIRN. 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.
