CIST BURIAL in Clamdernow

CIST BURIAL

What is recorded here

Clamdernow holds a Bronze Age cist burial where human bones once rested inside stone. The dead likely believed the chamber would carry them forward into continuity rather than erase them. That much is clear from the stones themselves. What is missing is the voice that first spoke their name into the world.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Cist burial; Bronze Age. A small stone burial chamber, cist burials were commonly used for individual interments during the Bronze Age and are significant for understanding early funerary practices and social structures.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
