What is recorded here
Carnesolloghe, Carneshalagh, Carnsallagh, Carnsolloghe: one mound, four names, half a question mark. The chamber may hold a Neolithic dead person, a lost herdsman or a child whose name no longer exists. The angle of its roof, the depth of its hollow and the patience of its stones still answer the hand that touches them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN?: CARNESOLLOGHE, CARNESHALAGH, CARNSALLAGH, CARNSOLLOGHE. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic passage tomb; date uncertain. Its significance lies in its association with early megalithic funerary traditions in the region, though its precise cultural or ceremonial role remains unclear due to limited documentation.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
