What is recorded here
Under Tiranagher Beg, a Bronze Age cist still holds the remains of someone the world has forgotten. The dead person may have watched storms roll across Fermanagh or listened for music in wind moving through grass. Stone chambers do not decay like flesh, so they keep human shape longer than memory does.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. 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 in the Bronze Age for individual interments and are significant for understanding early funerary practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
