What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Tullykittagh Lower, County Antrim: giant stones, grave of a giant in the old name, human or godlike depending on the teller. The survey marked the site but never pinned the exact stones, so the grave keeps its distance like the giant it honours. What is certain is age and intent: someone laid great rock across a valley and called the dead a giant.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE (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 significance lies in its association with megalithic funerary traditions, though its exact type and location remain undetermined.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
