What is recorded here
In the PREHISTORIC and BRONZE AGE, people in Brockaghboy built a cist burial, yet no exact point remains visible. The chamber may have held a leader, a child, or a stranger whose name vanished before writing existed. Earth and time erased the stones, but the act of burying someone with care still belongs to the land.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL (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; Bronze Age. A small stone burial chamber, cist burials were commonly used for individual interments during the Bronze Age and are significant for understanding early funerary practices.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
