ROUND CAIRN: WEE COLLIN

What is recorded here

Wee Collin is a small round cairn on a hilltop above Ballyalbanagh and Ballynashee. It is the kind of place where people may have buried someone they loved, marked a border, or simply watched the sky turn over the fields below. The stones are not grand, but they are still standing, which means the hill has carried them through rain, fire, forgetting and every change of ownership since before written memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN: WEE COLLIN. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age round cairn, dating to the prehistoric period. It is a Scheduled Monument, indicating its archaeological importance and legal protection.
