What is recorded here

Twenty metres of ancient stone still stand at Ballyneillan, though a modern quarry now presses against its edge. Road builders broke the mound open in 1874 to reveal a burial cist, yet a later writer insisted no such chamber existed, leaving the true shape of the site buried beneath human certainty. The contradiction, not the stones, is the real monument: a reminder that memory itself has seams where facts collapse.

At the edge of the summit of an E-W ridge, sloping to the N and with wide views all around, in rough pasture within an extensive field system (CL017-180----). A small moss-covered cairn (4m N-S, 4.4m E-W; H 0.6m); possibly a field-clearance cairn. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Conn Herriott Date of upload: 17 June 2022

A small unclassified cairn, likely of the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, situated on a prominent ridge. Its location suggests a possible funerary or ritual function, though its specific type and wider significance remain undetermined.
