What is recorded here
Loughtilube still hides a megalithic tomb beneath its soil, though no marker exists to prove the claim. The official record preserves the site but cannot identify its exact location, creating a ghost landmark that defies modern measurement. The tomb may contain ancestral remains or may have vanished entirely, yet the unknown boundary between fact and memory gives the place more life than any discovered ruin could achieve.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
