What is recorded here
Mud, fire and marble time. Houses with sharp corners, a line of standing stones, and burial mounds where the dead stopped running from the sky. People lived there long enough to forget the first ancestor and still return the dead to the same earth.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT, RECTANGULAR HOUSES, STONE ROW, BRONZE AGE BARROW CEMETERY. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; L.B.A.; PREHISTORIC; EARLY NEO. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic rectangular houses and a stone row, along with a Bronze Age barrow cemetery, indicate a multi-period prehistoric site. The combination of settlement and burial features highlights its significance as a long-term ceremonial and domestic landscape.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
