What is recorded here
COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE in Corratrasna stands as a scheduled Neolithic court tomb where ancient hands arranged stone before written history began. The giant label hints that people once measured human life against the massive scale of the chamber, perhaps imagining a buried titan rather than ordinary ancestors.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic court tomb, dating to the earlier part of the Neolithic period in Ireland (c. 3700–2500 BCE). It is significant as part of a distinctive regional funerary tradition, often associated with communal burial and ritual activity.
