What is recorded here
CAIRN in Fish Quarter, County Down, Ireland: uncertain period, but the stones still stand where hands stacked them. Maybe people dropped chips of rock to mark a good catch, a lost child, or a promise made to the sea. The quarter keeps its fish smell and busy lanes; the cairn keeps its patience. Touch one stone and you join a long line of anonymous makers, each adding a little weight to memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
