What is recorded here

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB. 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.
Court tomb; Neolithic period. This tomb type is significant as an example of early megalithic funerary architecture associated with communal burial practices in prehistoric Ireland.
