What is recorded here
Marianne stood before the dual court tomb in Aghanaglack, counting the separate chambers that faced one another across open ground. She imagined Neolithic hands moving soil and stone when people still believed death could be shared rather than hidden. The two courts did not force a choice between solitude or company; they admitted both.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as AGHANAGLACK DUAL COURT TOMB. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
