What is recorded here
Down Acre held human remains during the Medieval period. The demesne boundary and local land use may have shaped where bodies were lost, buried or forgotten. The site still belongs to that place, even when the living names have faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Human Remains. Recorded period: MEDIEVAL. 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.
