What is recorded here
Moyarget Upper holds a megalithic tomb built during the prehistoric period, when people moved massive stone without modern tools. The chamber still lies buried beneath grass and memory, waiting for rain to reveal its edges. Those builders understood death as a continuation rather than an ending, shaping stone into a vessel for what cannot be spoken.
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 its contribution to understanding early prehistoric burial practices and megalithic architecture in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
