What is recorded here
Megalothic tomb and pillar stone field in County Armagh, Ireland, now destroyed. The official record marks where the stones stood before human hands or machines removed them. What remains is an absent shape, a field that may have hidden chambers or aligned markers, and a warning that even ancient stone does not guarantee continuity.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: PILLAR STONE FIELD (destroyed). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Pillar stone field, dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age, representing a rare and enigmatic megalithic tradition in the region. Its destruction has significantly limited understanding of its original form and wider cultural significance.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
