What is recorded here
Megalithic tombs in Straid date to the PREHISTORIC period, when people moved massive stones to mark death, memory or territory. The exact tomb remains unlocated, stripping the story of its visual anchor but increasing its mystery. Perhaps it still lies buried beneath grass, rock or forgotten land, waiting for someone careful enough to listen for shape beneath soil.
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.
