What is recorded here
Drumagorgan holds a megalithic tomb where ancient hands stacked stone before written history existed. The chamber waited through centuries of rain and forgetting, preserving a death ritual lost to time. Whatever names were spoken inside, the rocks still block the doorway, refusing to release their secret.
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. These tombs are significant as some of the earliest communal burial monuments in the region, reflecting early social and ritual practices.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
