MenuMillin Bay Cairn, Down
Millin Bay Cairn is a complex late Neolithic burial monument, overlooking Millin Bay in the townland of Keentagh, County Down. It appears now as an oval mound of grassed-over sand with a surrounding oval stone setting. Excavations in the 1950s revealed a long cist containing the disarticulated remains of at least 16 individuals, with one cremation. There were also 8 small cists, some with cremations. Some of the structural stones were decorated. The monument is in the care of the Department for Communities. The monument is within the council area of Ards and North Down.
