The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POSSIBLE MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Possible megalithic tomb, likely Neolithic in date. Its significance lies in its potential contribution to understanding early prehistoric burial practices in the region.
