What is recorded here
No visible marker exists, yet the hidden chamber still holds the dead. Bronze Age hands built a stone box somewhere near Tamnyagan, then soil and forgetting closed it. The living may have danced above that buried room before they lost the address. What is missing is not the death but the witness.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIAL (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 dates to the earlier part of the Bronze Age in Ireland. Such burials are significant as they provide insights into prehistoric funerary practices and burial customs in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
