What is recorded here
Uncertain Bronze Age burial markers in County Antrim, possibly Loughconnelly or Magheramully, hint that people died, burned or buried others, and stopped remembering the exact spot. The land may have kept cups of bone, scattered ash or small stone boxes while human memory faded. What is certain is only that death happened there before written record, and the region still carries the shape of that forgotten act.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL & UNCISTED CREMATION BURIAL(S) (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cist burial and uncremated/uncistied cremation burials; likely of funerary significance reflecting burial practices of the period. Exact location and wider archaeological context remain unconfirmed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
