What is recorded here
Cloghbirragh in Greenan, County Antrim, holds a prehistoric cist cemetery and standing stone where ancient people placed their dead beside a marker still visible today. The stones may have guided the living, warned the careless, or simply marked the boundary between memory and forgetting. Whatever intent built the site, it survived every empire, faith and forgotten kingdom that later crossed Ireland.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST CEMETERY & STANDING STONE: CLOGHBIRRAGH. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Cist cemetery and standing stone; likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. This site represents a prehistoric burial and ceremonial landscape, reflecting early ritual practices in the region.
