What is recorded here

Cairns are not hoarded treasure; they are visible memory. This is why ancient people built them. They are also the reason cairns still stand where ordinary walls would have fallen.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: SLIEVE COMMEDAGH CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Neolithic passage tomb; significant as part of the broader prehistoric funerary landscape of the Slieve Commedagh area.
