What is recorded here
Cloane holds a prehistoric tomb so faint it resists pinpointing, reminding us that human hands shaped the landscape long before written memory. The stones may have crumbled, scattered or been absorbed into farmfields, yet the chamber still belongs to the living because people continue to imagine the dead it contained. What is missing is not a failure of record but an invitation to listen for the shape of the room beneath the grass.
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.
