What is recorded here
The largest stones in Glenmakeeran left no shadow because men dragged them elsewhere, perhaps to build a wall or a road. The tomb vanished, but the hollow where it stood remains a wound in the grass, remembering the weight of what was stolen.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (destroyed). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb, likely dating to the Neolithic period. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding early prehistoric funerary practices in the region, though its specific type and full context have been lost due to destruction.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
