What is recorded here
No visible chamber remains in Crobane, only the memory of a giant's grave buried beneath the land. That absence is the point: the tomb has vanished from sight but never from the place name.
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.
Megalithic tomb, likely dating to the Neolithic period. It is part of the Giant's Grave complex, a significant prehistoric burial site associated with early farming communities in the Crobane area.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
