CAIRN in Cloane

Cairn stands in Cloane, County Derry, an ancient marker from the prehistoric dawn when people first shaped the landscape with their hands. Its uncertain age leaves it suspended in time, neither young nor fully understood, but old enough to have watched every season turn the land over. The stones may have guided travelers, marked a boundary, or honoured a dead person whose name vanished before writing existed. Whatever it did, it still does it, waiting for someone to notice the shape and remember the effort behind the build.
