What is recorded here

CAIRN in County Down, Ireland is a possible megalithic tomb from the prehistoric period, yet no exact chamber, date or builder is known. It may have marked a death, a boundary or a gift to the land, while people came and went without writing anything behind. The stones still belong to that old uncertainty, waiting to be seen plainly instead of repeated as a file.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN - possibly Megalithic Tomb. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
