Cairn, unclassified in Glenough Lower is likely a Bronze Age cairn, based on its classification and typical characteristics of such monuments in upland areas. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of prehistoric funerary practices and settlement patterns in the region.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
