What is recorded here

Court Tomb stands in County Antrim, a Neolithic structure where ancient people shaped stone into a chamber for the dead. Its court layout suggests a gathering place as much as a grave, perhaps crowded with mourners or celebrants under open sky. The tomb still holds that dual purpose: a home for the departed and a stage for the living who refused to forget them.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. 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 prehistoric period. These tombs are significant as early communal burial sites, often featuring a central chamber with a forecourt, and are associated with ritual and social practices in ancient Irish communities.
