What is recorded here

Death came first in Ballyknock, before roads or kingdoms. Someone lay down in the dark earth and stopped moving, while the living pulled soil over the shape and left the place behind. The field kept that first loss long after every name and marker disappeared.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIAL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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.
