MEGALITHIC TOMB (unlocated) in Glenaan

MEGALITHIC TOMB (unlocated)

What is recorded here

Megalithic tombs in County Antrim date to the PREHISTORIC period, when people moved huge stones to mark death and memory. Glenaan may have hidden one beneath grass, heather or forgotten field work. The stones are gone or never recorded, but the shape of the place still suggests that humans once believed some deaths needed a bigger container.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (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.
