What is recorded here
No visible stones remain in Ballyboley, only a hidden Bronze Age memory waiting beneath grass or soil. That absence does not diminish the place; it suggests the land kept the cairn after people stopped pointing at it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN(S) (unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cairn; its exact type and wider significance are uncertain due to lack of precise location and detailed records.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
