What is recorded here
Cairn with urn burials at Loughanmore, County Antrim, belongs to the Bronze Age and may have marked a line of descent, a boundary, or a place where the dead were kept near the living. The urns suggest people valued enough of a life to shape clay for what remained when heat and time had taken the rest. Loughanmore may have been a field, a road, a hilltop, or a name spoken only in local memory before it disappeared from ordinary use.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN with URN BURIALS: LOUGHANMORE (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.
Bronze Age cairn with urn burials; likely a passage tomb or satellite burial site. Such cairns are significant for understanding funerary practices and social organisation in prehistoric Ireland.
