What is recorded here
Troopersland in County Antrim may be a lost megalithic tomb, though no stones remain visible to confirm the claim. The name suggests troops, land and memory rather than stones, but the official label still points to a buried chamber or collapsed alignment from the PREHISTORIC period. If the tomb exists, it lies beneath grass, roadworks or forgotten fields, waiting for someone to dig beneath the certainty of its absence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB?: TROOPERSLAND (O.S. memoir site, 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.
