What is recorded here
No one knows whose bones the stones held or when they closed over them. The grave sits hidden somewhere in Ballynoe, marked only on a government list and stripped of every detail that would let a person stand beside it. The uncertainty does not diminish the dead; it returns the place to the region where it belonged before surveying reduced it to a coordinate.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIAL in STONE LINED GRAVE (unlocated). 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.
