What is recorded here
Megalithic tombs in Upper Tullykittagh date to the PREHISTORIC period, when people built chambered graves from large stones. The tomb has vanished or never been correctly located, but the land still carries the shape of that old work. People may have gathered there to bury the dead, mark territory or watch the seasons pass.
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.
