What is recorded here
Gray stones stood in Glengesh from the prehistoric era until demolition around 1950. They marked a tomb where human hands shaped massive rock into a chamber for the dead. Their removal erased a visible bridge between modern life and ancient belief.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: GRAY STONES (demolished, c.1950). 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.
