What is recorded here
Two cairns still stand in Ballybriest, County Derry, though no one knows when they were raised or who stacked the stones. They are the kind of place that belongs to everyone and remembers nobody, which is why people keep returning to sit beside them, feed them a stone, and leave a little more alive than they arrived.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO CAIRNS. Recorded period: MODERN; 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.
