What is recorded here

Caern and urn mark a lost Bronze Age chamber in Broughshane Upper, though no stone still stands where the chamber opened. The urn may have held bones, ash or a name the tribe stopped speaking. The cairn may have marked the door, the direction home or the last person who left. That much is missing, not dead. The field keeps the shape of the gesture even when the gesture has no witness.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN & URN (unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
