What is recorded here
Leaban Conan, or Conan's Bed, marks a prehistoric chamber where massive stones still outline a chamber for the dead. The name suggests a giant or hero named Conan, yet no exact chamber or field marker remains visible in the public record. What is left is a ghost of a tomb: large enough to bury a king, vague enough to disappear into the farmland of Annaghmare.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: LEABAN CONAN or CONAN'S BED (unlocated). 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 period. Its significance lies in its possible association with early farming communities and ceremonial practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
