What is recorded here

Cargan holds a Bronze Age cairn, which means people built that stone heap long before written records reached County Antrim. They may have marked a burial, a boundary, a gift to the rain or a warning to the dark. The stones remain because human hands arranged them, and memory left the shape behind.

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

Bronze Age cairn; Prehistoric funerary or ritual monument. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial practices and early settlement in the region.
