CIST BURIALS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Creenagh

CIST BURIALS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

Creenagh once held cist burials, though no exact marker remains. The dead lay inside stone boxes while the living walked above them, trusting the earth to keep what they let go. Time has erased the visible proof, but the field still belongs to memory. Forgetting is not the same as never existing.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIALS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Cist burials are small stone burial chambers typically associated with the Early Bronze Age in Ireland. These burials are significant for understanding prehistoric funerary practices and social structures in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
