What is recorded here
Graveyard Field in Pharis, County Antrim, holds human remains beneath soil that has never revealed when they died or who they were. The earth keeps its silence while the living imagine the shapes buried inside it. What is certain is only that death happened there and the field still carries the weight of it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as GRAVEYARD: THE GRAVEYARD FIELD. 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.
