ROUND CAIRN in Linford

ROUND CAIRN

What is recorded here

Round Cairn in Linford, County Antrim, stands as a scheduled Bronze Age chamber, its stones still locking together after millennia. It is not a ruin waiting for explanation but a finished room built by people who understood death as a container rather than an ending. The cache holds no gold and no weapon, only the shape of a body and the patience of the field around it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
