CAIRN in Teer

CAIRN

What is recorded here

CAIRN stands in Teer, County Armagh, an unmarked heap of stones from the prehistoric dark. It may have guided a herdsman, marked a dead person, or simply challenged a storm. The exact purpose has been lost, but the stones still resist forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
