Cairn, Roshin (Dunfanaghy Ed), Co. Donegal
Whilst many ancient monuments across Ireland have been thoroughly surveyed and catalogued, this particular cairn remains something of an enigma; its precise age, purpose, and cultural significance have yet to be formally established by archaeologists. Like countless other stone structures scattered across the Irish landscape, it stands as a silent testament to the activities of our ancestors, whether marking a burial site, commemorating an event, or serving some other ritualistic purpose now lost to time.
