What is recorded here

Knocksoghey holds a Neolithic tomb so old it predates every written name in County Antrim. Men and women may have carried massive stones across that land before roads existed, building a chamber where the dead could rest beneath the soil. The tomb still belongs to the area even though no marker separates it from the living ground.

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 its classification as an early communal burial monument, reflecting the cultural and ritual practices of Neolithic communities in the region.
