What is recorded here
Glenstaghy holds Bronze Age field systems, urn burials and hidden underground passages, though the exact passage site remains unlocated. People shaped that land long before written records, drawing boundaries around houses and burying their dead with ceremony. The missing passage may still wait beneath the soil, preserving a chamber no modern foot has entered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FIELD SYSTEMS WITH HOUSES; ENCLOSURES; BOUNDARIES; URN BURIALS; Man-made underground passages (O.S. memoir site: unlocated). Recorded period: E.CHRIST.; UNCERTAIN; BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. 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.
