What is recorded here
No visible chamber remains in Glenmakeeran, only a forgotten tomb hidden beneath grass or soil. That absence does not diminish the place; it preserves the danger of forgetting. The stones may still lie buried beneath the field, waiting for someone careful enough to listen before digging.
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.
Megalithic tomb, dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its classification as a prehistoric funerary or ceremonial structure, though its exact type and location remain unidentified.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
