What is recorded here
No visible tomb remains in Twenty Acres, though the official point still marks the centre of the forgotten site. The stones may have been taken for walls, roads or fields, leaving only the memory of a prehistoric burial place beneath ordinary Northern Irish soil.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMBS (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.
