What is recorded here
Stone circles and cairns mark Lisnamanny as a Bronze Age chamber where human hands shaped the landscape long before written history. The official record preserves the site even though its exact point remains unlocated, creating a gap where memory and map diverge. That absence does not diminish the place; it refuses to be reduced to a single coordinate. The stones may have served burial, ceremony or boundary marking, while the cairn gathered what people chose to remember.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLE & CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age stone circle and cairn, dating to the prehistoric period. Such monuments are significant for understanding ritual practices and early settlement patterns in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
