What is recorded here
No visible tomb remains in Torglass, only a forgotten point on an old survey. That absence is not a failure; it is the shape of the place. A chamber may have stood there in PREHISTORIC time, holding dead people and the pride of those who carried stones for them. The land kept the event long after the stones disappeared, waiting for someone to remember that even erased places can still be named.
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.
