What is recorded here
Crockateemore in Ballyvoy, County Antrim, holds the remains of a Neolithic passage tomb, old enough that human memory fails before it. The chamber may have stored bones, secrets or the shapes of forgotten gods, while people walked past it as ordinary ground. It still belongs to the land, protected and waiting, patient as stone.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PASSAGE TOMB (REMAINS OF): CROCKATEEMORE. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic passage tomb, dating to the prehistoric period. Its scheduling for protection highlights its archaeological importance, though specific details on construction or use remain limited.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
