DUAL COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVES in Ballyreagh

DUAL COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVES

What is recorded here

Ballyreagh holds two ancient courts where giant bones might have broken before human laws existed. Neolithic hands built that strange geometry while ordinary people watched the horizon change. The land remembers more than it admits, and the graves wait beneath soil that has swallowed every empire since.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as DUAL COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVES. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEO/B.A.; NEOLITHIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Dual court tomb, Neolithic period. It is significant as part of the Giant's Graves complex, a notable group of megalithic tombs in the Ballyreagh area, reflecting early ceremonial and burial practices in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
