What is recorded here
Question and doubt are written into the name itself. A megalthic tomb on Lusty More Island would have required strength, cooperation and belief. People may have carried stone across water, aligned it to the sky and buried someone important inside. The sea may have taken the answer, but the question still stands in the name.
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.
