What is recorded here
Carnbane holds a megalithic tomb where ancient people placed stones before written history began. The chamber still waits beneath soil and moss, preserving the shape of hands that lifted it. Nothing about the builders has survived, but the tomb has not stopped being a tomb. It keeps doing what it learned, holding death steady while the world above forgets.
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.
