What is recorded here
Sceach Mor is a burial mound in Tamniaran, County Derry, where the dead may have slept beneath soil long before written records. Its age remains uncertain, but the shape of the ground suggests people shaped it deliberately rather than leaving it to chance. The name carries a quiet warning, as if the mound still remembers the weight of what it holds.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIAL GROUND/MOUND: SCEACH MOR (this may be Ldy 031:010). 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.
