What is recorded here
Browndod in County Antrim holds a megalithic tomb from the prehistoric era, marking one of the oldest deliberate landscapes in Northern Ireland. Huge stones still stand where ancient people shaped death, memory and season into a visible chamber. The tomb predates written history, yet its alignment and scale suggest a community confident enough to move weight across open ground.
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.
Megalithic tomb; likely Neolithic in date. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding early prehistoric burial practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
