What is recorded here

Situated to the north-west end of a low ridge above the beach at Barnageeragh. Extensive views of eastern coast of Ireland north to the Mourne Mountains. This is a circular round-topped cairn (diam. 15m; H 2m) c. 200m NNW of the site of another cairn (DU005-017001-) (Hartnett 1957, 266). Cairn site overgrown with scrub-has been treated and scrub cut back in recent past. Cairn site disturbed by local landowner George Hamilton in the mid-19th century (Hamilton, 1846). As part of pre-development investigations geophysical survey (magnetometry and resitivity) took place at this relatively intact cairn. It was recorded as being oval in plan and divided into several irregular-shaped features. Anomalies close to the cairn were interpreted as pits (PZP 2004, 10).

A circular round-topped cairn, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Its location suggests a possible funerary or ceremonial function with strategic coastal visibility.
