What is recorded here
Mortons of Ballyronan remembered cist burials and standing stones near Eglish, though no exact point remains marked. The PREHISTORIC place may have held dead men, passing carts or children chasing stones in rain. Its loss does not diminish it; it refuses to be owned by maps or repeated like a postcard. What is forgotten can still be loved, because love does not require proof, only presence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST BURIALS & STANDING STONES (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
