What is recorded here
Situated on the S-facing slope of Knockea in rolling pasture with good views in all directions. Much quarrying has taken place in the field. Partial oval area (diam. 7m E-W) enclosed from E to W by at least seven boulders.
A Neolithic cairn; partially preserved with an enclosure of at least seven boulders. Its location suggests it may have been part of a wider ritual landscape, though quarrying has significantly impacted the site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
