ROUND CAIRN WITH CIST: COFRACLOGHY in Carrickbroad

ROUND CAIRN WITH CIST: COFRACLOGHY

What is recorded here

Cairns and cists still mark Carrickbroad, though men have forgotten the names of the dead inside. Bronze Age hands built them when Ulster was young, packing stone around what they loved or feared to lose. The land kept their shape while human memory failed, proving that rock remembers longer than flesh.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN WITH CIST: COFRACLOGHY. 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.
