What is recorded here
Multiple cist cairns in Beihy, County Fermanagh, hold several Bronze Age burial chambers beneath one broad mound of stones. They are scheduled ancient remains, not a single grave but a layered chambered monument where several dead were kept apart under the same heap. The cairn may have marked a family line, a local boundary or a repeated burial place for people who no longer have names.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPLE CIST CAIRN. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Multiple cist cairn; Bronze Age funerary monument. Significance lies in its Scheduled status and as part of the prehistoric burial traditions in Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
