What is recorded here
Long cist burials in Drumacullin date from the uncertain period when people first stopped running and began remembering. Oya-vic-Namora remains marked only as a long cist burial, yet the name sounds like a breath held across centuries. Antrim keeps its dead close and its stories shorter, as if certainty were a kindness it could not afford.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as LONG CIST BURIAL: OYA-VIC-NAMORA. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Long cist burial; likely dates to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Such burials are significant as they provide insights into early funerary practices and burial customs in the region.
