What is recorded here
Ordnance Survey markers dropped a red cross on empty field, trusting a vanished memoir more than visible stone. That confidence turns measurement into memory, asking the body to recall what the camera forgot. The dead may have laid a small chamber beneath the soil, then disappeared from every later map. The survey still points at the absence, proud and wrong.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL (O.S. memoir site, 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 cist burial; likely a small prehistoric stone or wooden chamber used for inhumation. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial practices and settlement patterns in prehistoric Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
