What is recorded here

Carrickananny holds a Neolithic court tomb where ancient people shaped stone before written memory began. The structure still stands in County Armagh, marking a time when human hands arranged heavy material without modern tools or outside direction. Its preservation suggests the place mattered enough to build, maintain or repeat.

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.
