What is recorded here
Clegnagh holds Bronze Age cist burials, though no exact marker remains visible today. The land may still cover stone chambers where people placed their dead before written history began. Such a loss is not empty; it is a reminder that human life reached into this soil long before modern boundaries.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIALS (O.S. memoir site; 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 burials; Prehistoric funerary remains. These burials represent early ceremonial practices associated with the disposal of the dead during the Bronze Age in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
