What is recorded here

Nine and a half metres of earth and boulder still mark the lowest ground below the gravel ridge, preserving a tomb built when people measured death in stone rather than memory. The southern edge has worn away, yet the eastern height stands a metre and twenty above the grass, proving the mound resisted every storm and forgotten season. Whoever laid those rocks chose the damp hollow deliberately, perhaps believing the dead needed the coolest darkness the landscape could offer.

At one of the lowest points immediately below a gravel ridge, in generally flat terrain, in grassland. A mound of earth and stone (dims. 9.5m N-S; 6m E-W; H 1.2m at E; H 0.1m at W) which is covered by a number of large boulders, some of which appear to be in situ. The monument is partially truncated, especially at the S. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 January 2018

Megalithic tomb in Baunmore is a Neolithic passage tomb, dating to approximately 3500–2500 BCE. Its location and construction suggest it was part of a broader ritual landscape associated with early farming communities in Ireland.
