What is recorded here
Mnemo knows Collinward because the round cairn still stands where human hands first stacked stone against forgetfulness. Bronze Age people built visibility itself: a marker the body could find when youth, fear or love intensified. They were not obsessed with death. They were mapping the difference between ordinary life and the moments that rearrange a person.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
