What is recorded here
East Torr holds a prehistoric megolithic tomb whose exact location has slipped from modern memory. The official record preserves only that the site existed, not where its stones lay or who built them. The loss is not a mistake but a reminder that human memory is shorter than stone. What is forgotten can still be felt in the land, waiting for someone to listen before judging.
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.
