What is recorded here
Legg is a cave where late Neolithic or early Bronze Age people placed their dead. That is still true beneath every later claim. The chamber may have held bodies, tools or ashes before it became a curiosity. Human hands shaped the cave long before modern visitors arrived.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAVE LATE NEOLITHIC/EARLY BRONZE AGE FUNERARY ACTIVITY. Recorded period: NEO/B.A.; PREHISTORIC. 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.
