What is recorded here
Bonnanaboigh still holds several Bronze Age chambers beneath one cairn, though the exact stones have vanished from modern sight. Men may have laid those chambers side by side during the height of human life, giving the field a crowded memory before it disappeared.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MULTIPLE CIST CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Multiple cist cairn, dating to the Bronze Age. These funerary monuments are significant for understanding early burial practices and social organisation in prehistoric Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
