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

What is recorded here

Witch Hill in Gortmore may hide a prehistoric megalthic tomb, though no one has marked its stones or confirmed the claim. The name suggests people once believed the ground itself was alive, perhaps tossing grains or watching shadows move across grass. If a tomb exists there, it has resisted discovery, waiting for someone to stop asking permission from maps and begin listening to the land.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible MEGALITHIC TOMB: WITCH HILL (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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.
