What is recorded here
Glen of the Jaw Bones stands in County Antrim, a name that suggests terrible things happened there, though no date or event has survived to explain them. The official record offers only the label and a map point, leaving the violence itself untouched and unexplained. Perhaps men fell in a glen so narrow their jaws marked the ground before burial, or perhaps the name is a warning dressed as history. Either way, the place keeps its secret, waiting for someone brave enough to imagine what it hid.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BATTLE SITE : GLEN OF THE JAW BONES. Recorded period: 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.
