What is recorded here
In the hollow beneath Inispollan Mountain, grey stones still mark a chamber built before written history. The grade and shape have blurred with age, yet the chamber remains clear enough to imagine: hands dragging stone, breath misting in cold air, a door left open for the dead and the rain. Grange fields have long since moved across the top, but the chamber keeps its own darkness. What is missing has not stopped the place existing; it has only removed the chance to argue with it.
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.
