What is recorded here

Cashlan Field in Ballymacdermot may hold a lost court tomb, its stones forgotten or never marked. The field itself remains visible, a green rectangle in County Armagh where prehistoric hands could have shaped death into geometry. The question mark in its name admits the doubt: perhaps nothing survives, perhaps everything is buried under grass and time.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB?: CASHLAN FIELD (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Court tomb, dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000–2500 BCE). These tombs are significant as early communal burial sites, reflecting social organisation and ritual practices in prehistoric Ireland.
