What is recorded here

Megalithic tombs in Altigarron date to the prehistoric period when people buried their dead beneath large stones. The giant's grave name suggests those burials belonged to someone important enough to mark with size. Standing near the stones, you can still picture hands dragging rock across ground now lost to time.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
