What is recorded here
No visible tomb remains in Ballyveely, only a forgotten point on an old survey map. That absence is the truth of the site: human hands may have moved large stone there, but time, ploughs or forgetting removed the proof. The chamber may still lie beneath grass, road or field, waiting for someone to stop treating the land as empty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). 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.
