What is recorded here

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Round cairn, dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age periods. These cairns are significant as they represent early ritual or burial practices in the prehistoric landscape.
