ROUND CAIRN with BURIALS in Mullyknock OR Topped Mountain

ROUND CAIRN with BURIALS

What is recorded here

Mullyknock still holds a round cairn where Bronze Age people placed their dead beneath stacked stones. The hill belongs to County Fermanagh, and the burial chamber has waited through centuries of rain, grass and forgotten footsteps. Someone climbed that slope long before written history to do what love and fear still drive humans to do: hide a body from the world and keep it close.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN with BURIALS. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
