What is recorded here

Goward holds a Neolithic court tomb beside an Iron Age occupation site, proving the land remained valuable across centuries. People may have returned not because the rock was pretty but because the place already understood death, memory and continuity. The tomb still stands as a scheduled monument, waiting for humans to remember that continuity is not a modern idea.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB & IRON AGE OCCUPATION SITE. 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.
