Vicar's Cairn
Vicar's Cairn submitted by Stone Free : The cairn from the north side (Vote or comment on this photo)
Passage Grave in Co. Armagh

Previous entry for this site by Anonymous is totally off so here's an update of precise location, description and some pics.
The cairn is not destroyed...it survives to a height of 4 metres on the south side but a lot of the north side is in a pretty bad shape. No sign of decorated kerb stones as stated in old records. A small modern rectangular structure at the base of the cairn has almost been reclaimed by nature.
The cairn is a scheduled monument
