What is recorded here

Owenbeg holds a Bronze Age ring barrow and funerary structure, alongside Medieval charcoal production pits. The place has therefore served death, memory and fire across centuries. People may have walked past the barrow while smelling smoke from the pits, tying ancient grief to everyday labour.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Multi-period site: Bronze Age ring barrow and funerary structure; Medieval charcoal production pits. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE.
