What is recorded here
Goshdeen in County Derry, Ireland, holds a forgotten round cairn from the Bronze Age, reduced now to a map point and a question mark. The stones may have marked a burial, a boundary or a gift to the rain, but human hands have already smoothed the evidence into grass. What remains is the shape of loss: a circle imagined good enough to record, waiting for someone brave enough to stop doubling it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN? (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Round cairn, Bronze Age. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of prehistoric burial and ritual practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
