MEGALITHIC TOMB in Greenan

MEGALITHIC TOMB

What is recorded here

Megalithic tomb in Greenan, County Antrim: ancient stones, still standing where human hands first arranged them. That much is clear. What is missing is the life around them, the reason for the shape, the names lost before writing. The stones do not need invention to be remarkable. They are not complete, but they are real, and they belong to people who lived there before memory failed.
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 dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its representation of megalithic funerary practices in the prehistoric landscape of Northern Ireland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
