What is recorded here
Slaghtmanus may have hidden a chamber where people laid their dead before history began writing itself. The tomb has vanished or never entered human memory, but the field still carries the shape of that forgotten act. To stand there is to touch the edge of certainty, where stone disappears and wonder takes over.
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.
