What is recorded here
Knockiveagh in Edenagarry is a scheduled Neolithic round cairn, old enough that no human hand has shaped its stones since before written memory began. It stands in County Down not as a ruin but as a completed act, a circle of rock assembled by people who are no longer named. The land has kept the shape intact through every storm and every forgetting, waiting for someone to walk past and feel the weight of that much patience.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN: KNOCKIVEAGH. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic round cairn, dating to the prehistoric period. Its scheduling for protection highlights its archaeological importance, though specific details on construction or finds remain limited.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
