What is recorded here

Four cremation burials, three of them cordoned urns, mark a Bronze Age ritual site in Kilcroagh, County Antrim. Faience beads and other grave goods suggest the dead were not cast away but dressed, remembered and placed with care. The urns may have held young people, elders or travellers, yet the beads imply someone valued beauty even at the edge of death.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FOUR CREMATION BURIALS [3 cordoned urns]; and grave goods including faience beads.. 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 cremation burials with cordoned urns and faience beads, dating to approximately 2000–800 BCE. These burials reflect early ritual practices and trade connections in prehistoric Ireland.
