What is recorded here

Diarmud and Grania fled fate into the Irish dark, and Ballydonegan still carries the shape of their runaway bed. The tomb belongs to PREHISTORIC time, yet the name suggests love, chase and concealment rather than ordinary death. Grania may have laid herself beside Diarmud under stones while hounds and men searched above, turning a burial place into a monument for refusal.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: DIARMUD & GRANIA'S BED (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). 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 or Early Bronze Age. Its name reflects a local tradition linking it to the Irish mythological figures Diarmuid and Gráinne, indicating cultural or folk significance.
