What is recorded here

Forkill Mountain carries a large enclosure and cairn from the prehistoric era, marked as a scheduled site in Carrickastickan. The stones may have framed a boundary, a ritual gathering place or a landmark visible across the county. People likely moved through that space before written history, shaping the mountain with purpose now faded into silence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as LARGE ENCLOSURE & CAIRN on FORKILL MOUNTAIN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
