What is recorded here
Megalthic tomb stones still mark the Ballygroll prehistoric landscape in Mullaboy, though time has worn their edges and purpose thin. People may have gathered there to honour the dead, watch the sky or bind a family line to the land. The stones do not explain themselves, but they refuse to be forgotten.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB, part of BALLYGROLL PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb, likely dating to the Neolithic period (c. 4000–2500 BCE). It is part of a broader prehistoric landscape, indicating early communal burial and ritual practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
