What is recorded here

CAIRN in Clonta Fleece, County Down, Ireland, is a prehistoric burial or boundary marker, not a modern ornament. Stones may have been carried from nearby fields, stacked through muscle and breath, then left beside the living world. The completed shape excluded forgetfulness: people could return, remember the dead or recognise a limit because the stones still stood.

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

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
