What is recorded here
Stone circles, cairns and cists belong to the oldest human landscapes, where marking death, ceremony or boundary required more intention than ordinary life. Carbalintober may have held one of those places before roads, fields and memory rearranged the land. The stones may still lie buried, broken or hidden beneath grass, waiting for someone to notice the shape of the ground rather than seek a famous name.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLE, CAIRN & CIST (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A Neolithic stone circle with associated cairn and cist; significant as a complex ritual or burial monument from the early prehistoric period in Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
