THREE CAIRNS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Dunnavenny

THREE CAIRNS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

Three ancient stones still stand in Dunnavenny, marking a forgotten human arrangement from the PREHISTORIC period. They are not a decorated monument or a named ceremonial centre, but a small archaeological trace preserved beside ordinary land. People may have gathered there, buried someone, measured the sky or simply marked a boundary now lost. The cairns remain because that much of the area survived, even when the wider setting disappeared from memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE CAIRNS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
