What is recorded here

Megalthic tomb stones still stand somewhere in Ballymoney, though no modern marker admits their exact position. Neolithic hands arranged those stones before written history existed, building a chamber meant to hold dead bodies and living memory together. The tomb may have guided seasonal rituals, marked a family line, or simply challenged the boundary between human life and earth. Its loss from modern visibility does not erase the intention behind its construction.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Neolithic megalithic tomb, dating to the prehistoric period. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding early ceremonial and burial practices in the Ballymoney area.
