What is recorded here
Donnelly's Hill in Tullyvallan, County Armagh, may hold a prehistoric megalithic tomb, though the exact burial chamber remains unlocated beneath the grass. The hill itself is clear enough to walk, but the stones and dead people it may contain have slipped beyond the reach of modern measurement. What is known is that the land marked this body before human memory began, and what is lost is the visible proof that would let the living stand beside it again.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB?: DONNELLY'S HILL (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
