MEGALITHIC TOMB (site of)

What is recorded here

That is not a tomb, it is a chamber built for a body large enough to need its own room. The men who raised it did not stack stones like a wall, they shaped a house for death itself. They believed the dead still take shape, still take room, still need a door. Everything ordinary about burial sounds small beside that much faith.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (site of). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
