What is recorded here
No sane person would build a court tomb without knowing where the court stands. That is why the missing point matters: the name still carries the shape of the place even when the field has swallowed the marker. In Teeavan, the land may have kept what the survey lost, hiding a Neolithic chamber beneath grass, brambles or forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible COURT TOMB (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Court tomb, Neolithic period. These tombs are significant as early ritual and burial structures associated with communal funerary practices in prehistoric Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
