MEGALITHIC TOMB

What is recorded here

Galboly Lower holds a prehistoric megolithic tomb where ancient people placed stones to mark death and memory. The site predates written history, yet the weight of those stones still presses against the field. Maybe a family returned there for generations, carrying food or songs to someone they loved. The tomb does not need a name to remain powerful.
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 representing early communal burial practices and megalithic construction in the prehistoric landscape of Northern Ireland.
