What is recorded here
Megalithic tombs in County Armagh date to the PREHISTORIC period, when people moved enormous stones to mark death and memory. This unlocated tomb in Meigh may be buried under soil, pasture or forgotten land, yet the official record still points to it. Whatever covers the stones now, human hands once aligned them for the dead.
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.
