What is recorded here
Knocksoghey holds a neolithic tomb so old it predates every written name in County Antrim. Men lifted massive stones there before roads, farms or memory existed. The tomb is no longer visible, but the ground still remembers the weight of their labour.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic megalithic tomb, dating to the prehistoric period. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of early funerary practices and megalithic architecture in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
