What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Broom-Beg, County Antrim: ancient stones still standing where people once buried their dead. Prehistoric hands arranged them, and rain has since polished their edges smooth. The chamber may have held more than bone; it may have held pride, fear and memory for generations.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB. 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.
