What is recorded here
Templemoyle hides a Bronze Age cist burial, small enough to escape modern memory but large enough to anchor a life in death. The question mark in its own name admits the boundary between fact and forgetting. A person may have laid stones over another, then walked away into the green world, leaving the dead behind with no marker but weight and intention.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL? (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A cist burial, likely dating to the Bronze Age. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of prehistoric burial practices in the region, though its exact location and details remain uncertain.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
