What is recorded here
Round cairn in Glenmakeeran, County Antrim: a prehistoric ring of stones on open ground. People may have gathered there to mark seasons, bury the dead or simply watch the sky turn. The glen keeps its shape while human memory thins, but the stones still arrange themselves into a circle, inviting wonder rather than explanation.

Round cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. These monuments are significant as they represent early ritual or burial practices in the prehistoric landscape.
