What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Aughnagurgan, County Armagh, built in the prehistoric period and now descheduled. The Oul' Stones mark an old burial place where people laid the dead beneath large stone before written history. They still stand in the field, unchanged in kind, though their protection has laxed and their story has thinned.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: THE OUL' STONES. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Descheduled. 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 or Early Bronze Age. Its descheduled status suggests it was once protected but is no longer formally recognised for legal preservation.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
