What is recorded here
Megalthic tomb stones still stand in Carnanbane, though no exact address survives. They belong to the prehistoric period when people laid large rock chambers for the dead. The official record points only to a broad area, leaving the true entrance hidden beneath grass or memory. Whatever hands built that chamber, they believed the dead would still be needed.
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.
