What is recorded here
Cremaion ashes cooled in an urn before burial near Saval More during the Bronze Age. The exact spot has vanished from memory, but the act remains: heat, vessel, earth, and witness. Someone judged the dead worthy of care enough to shape, carry, and hide the remains. That much is true even without a marker.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CREMATION BURIAL in URN (unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cremation burial in an urn, dating to the prehistoric period. Such burials are significant for understanding funerary practices and social structures in early Irish communities.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
