What is recorded here
In the fields of County Antrim, a mound and pit mark a place where humans once chose to bury their dead or draw a boundary around life itself. The exact purpose has faded, leaving behind a shape rather than a story. That uncertainty is not a flaw; it is an invitation to imagine the hands that dug, the bodies that entered the earth, and the living world that continued above them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ENCLOSURE or MOUND & PIT BURIAL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
