What is recorded here
Death in Creevagh Upper once meant building a small stone chamber for the departed during the Bronze Age. The chamber has vanished from the land, leaving behind only a map point and a warning that the dead outlast the memory of their graves.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL (now unlocated). 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, dating to the Bronze Age. These small stone coffins were commonly used for elite or significant individuals, reflecting 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.
