What is recorded here
Meltwater and glacial deposits mark the area, yet the urn burial remains unlocated despite official recognition. Bronze Age hands may have shaped clay, carried flame, and returned death to soil before memory faded. The landscape keeps its distance, offering no marker, no chamber, no name to hold. What is absent refuses to be invented.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FINDSPOT of URN BURIAL (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age urn burial findspot; significant as part of the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
