What is recorded here

Craig-an-Ariff once rose in Carnanee as a triangular fort with two cairns, but destruction removed its walls and left only memory behind. The name itself suggests a point of distinction, perhaps a boundary marker or gathering place for people who needed the land shaped into meaning. What remains is the shape of what was lost: a small enclosure bold enough to be recorded, gone enough to resist description.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TRIANGULAR ENCLOSURE & TWO CAIRNS: CRAIG-AN-ARIFF FORT (destroyed). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
