What is recorded here
Derrynisk holds burials so old they predate every written name, reminding that death and memory arrived before human law. The stones may have marked a family line, a forgotten tribe, or a place where people believed the dead still watched the living. Whatever hand laid them down, the earth kept the promise and waited for someone clever enough to listen.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
