What is recorded here
Yes. This is a finding place, not a named home. Human bones and a horse skull emerged together in County Antrim, suggesting a cist burial rather than an ordinary dump. The chamber may have held a person the community believed worthy of remembering, while the horse gave the dead a companion or a ride into whatever came after.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FINDSPOT of HUMAN BONES with HORSE SKULL - CIST 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.
