What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Legoniel, County Antrim, built during the prehistoric period. Giant stones still mark the grave, while the names and tools of its makers have vanished. What remains is a chamber large enough to stop a person mid-thought, and a warning that human life is brief even when stone is patient.
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, dating to the Neolithic period. It is part of a tradition of prehistoric funerary monuments associated with early farming communities in the region.
