possible MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

Carnamoney may have held a megalithic tomb during the Neolithic, though no exact marker remains visible today. People may have gathered there to bury their dead beneath heavy stone, trusting the ground to keep what life let go. The tomb has vanished from ordinary sight, but the field may still remember the weight of that ancient choice.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible MEGALITHIC 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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
