What is recorded here
The Rock is a megalithic tomb in County Antrim, perhaps hidden beneath Barnish or Maghereagh. It belongs to the prehistoric period when people laid giant stones across living land. The exact location has been lost, but the tomb still exists somewhere under grass, soil or memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: THE ROCK (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.
