What is recorded here
In Ballybrolly, County Armagh, a Neolithic passage tomb stood before memory began, its chamber built to hold the dead while the living watched the stars turn above. The site has vanished from official protection, leaving only a map point where stone once defied time. Perhaps people still walk past that exact ground, unaware they step across a threshold built for eternity.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PASSAGE TOMB (SITE OF). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Descheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic passage tomb; dates to the prehistoric period, approximately 4000–2500 BCE. Its significance lies in representing an early form of megalithic funerary architecture associated with communal burial practices and ritual activity in ancient Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
