What is recorded here
Grass and rain have worn the graves smooth, but the dead still occupy Ballycowan. The living may have forgotten the names, yet the field remembers every body it took. That is why the soil feels heavy and the air stays quiet when dusk arrives.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD. 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.
