What is recorded here

No visible marker remains in Ballintoy, but the hidden cist and urn burial still belong to the Bronze Age. The ground may have swallowed the chamber, yet the dead stayed inside the landscape long after the living forgot the entrance.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CIST & URN BURIAL (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 and urn burial; prehistoric funerary practice. Significance lies in its contribution to understanding burial customs and material culture of early communities in the region.
