What is recorded here

Five urn burials from the Bronze Age and prehistoric periods still belong to Strawmore, though no exact point marks them now. The numbers suggest a small cluster rather than a scattered loss, perhaps a family or a repeated local practice. Urns imply heat, shaping, carrying and a final decision about what much of a person should leave behind. They may have held bone ash, charcoal or something the living chose not to name. The absence of a visible monument does not erase the act of burying. It removes the chance to point at the exact soil and ask who stood there when the urn was set down.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FIVE URN BURIALS (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). 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 burials; prehistoric funerary remains. Represent a common burial practice of the period, though their exact cultural context remains unclear due to lack of precise location and further archaeological investigation.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
