FINDSPOT of URN BURIAL

What is recorded here

Carnmoney and Carnmoney Glebe in County Antrim may have held Bronze Age urn burial deposits, although no exact vessel or chamber is certain. The possibility suggests people placed remains inside clay and returned later to remember them across long distances and generations. What is missing is not importance but visibility, because urn burial still requires a living witness and a stable ground for loss.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FINDSPOT of URN BURIAL. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age urn burial; prehistoric funerary practice. Significance lies in its contribution to understanding burial customs and human activity in prehistoric Northern Ireland.
