What is recorded here

Kilrooskagh holds a Neolithic portal tomb where ancient people laid their dead beneath lifted stone. The chamber still waits under the grass, unchanged since before written history. Those who built it understood death as a transition, not an ending. They shaped the earth into a doorway and trusted the dead to walk through it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PORTAL TOMB. Recorded period: NEO/B.A.; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Portal tomb; Neolithic to Bronze Age, dating to the prehistoric period. Its scheduling for protection highlights its archaeological importance as a rare and well-preserved megalithic monument.
