What is recorded here
Question marks still cling to the name, but beneath Grange OF Carmavy something deliberate waits in the dark. Whether a passage or a tomb, the stones belong to PREHISTORIC and E.CHRIST. time, when people shaped earth for the dead or for entry itself. The uncertainty does not weaken the place; it preserves the old surprise of finding human intent hidden under ordinary ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Man-made underground passage? or MEGALITHIC TOMB? (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; E.CHRIST.. 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.
