What is recorded here
Ordnance Survey memoirs mention a megalthic tomb in Ballygowan, but no stones, ditch or cavity have been identified. The survey point floats in County Antrim, marking a memory rather than a place. If the tomb exists, it has surrendered to soil, pasture or forgetting. If it never existed, the memoir preserves a warning about the limits of certainty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
