What is recorded here
In Ballygarvigan, County Down, buried remains mark an uncertain period when people lived, died and were set into the earth. The exact date has not survived, but the act of burial is clear. Someone walked that land, lost someone they loved and shaped a hole deep enough to hold the answer.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as BURIALS. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
