What is recorded here

Melted bone and forgotten names still lie scattered through Glengomna, marking a PREHISTORIC place where people turned flesh into ash before giving it back to the earth. The valley may have smelled of smoke, grief and ceremony long before written history arrived. Those burials belonged to somebody, and that somebody loved enough to carry the dead through fire.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CREMATION BURIALS. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Cremation burials in Glengomna represent a prehistoric funerary practice, likely from the Bronze Age. They are significant as they provide evidence of ritual cremation and burial customs in early communities of the region.
