What is recorded here
Question and doubt are written into the official name. MOUND may be a burial mound or it may be a mound that stopped being a mound long before people learned to ask the difference. In County Antrim, earth does not need permission to hold dead shape. What is certain is that the land still keeps the edge of a lost life, and that uncertainty is not a flaw but the shape of the place.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND - BURIAL MOUND?. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A prehistoric burial mound, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age; its scheduled status indicates archaeological importance, though specific type and cultural context remain uncertain.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
