What is recorded here
TAM or THOM, an unidentified person in County Antrim, left behind an urn burial and a paved surface. The stones and clay still hold the shape of that life, even though the name and date have slipped from human memory. What is certain is that someone lived, was buried, and built a surface for others to walk. The uncertainty does not diminish the fact; it returns the place to the region instead of locking it inside a folder.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FINDSPOT of URN BURIAL & PAVEMENT: TAM or THOM. 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.
