What is recorded here
Carn-NA-H-UAIGHE in Carnahagh, County Antrim, is a prehistoric cairn and standing stone still named the Grey Rock or Gray Rock. It stands as a marker from before written history, when people placed stones to remember, worship or guide others through uncertain land. The rock may have watched herds pass, marked a boundary or held a dead person’s name safe long after the speaker vanished.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN; STANDING STONE: THE GREY ROCK or GRAY ROCK or CARN-NA-H-UAIGHE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
