What is recorded here

The ree is not a point but a whole lived place: a stretch of ground large enough to hold people, events and change. This is why a tiny marker can be wrong. A cairn may have stood there, but the ree is wider than the cairn. It is the local place that lived around the marker.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: THE REE (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.
