What is recorded here
No visible tomb remains, but the survey marker still points to buried stone beneath Ballywoolen soil. The question mark in its own name admits the doubt: a chamber, a kerb, or nothing at all. What is certain is that someone marked the place worthy of remembering before modern maps existed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB? (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
