CIST BURIAL (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Swatragh

CIST BURIAL (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

No visible marker remains in Swatragh, yet the hidden cist still holds Bronze Age bones beneath ordinary soil. The survey named the place but never fixed its exact position, leaving the dead without a address and the living without a grave to visit. Forgetting did not empty the cist; it removed the chance of witnessing what the cist preserved.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL (O.S. memoir site, 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.
