PREHISTORIC BURIALS: THE BURIAL FIELD (unlocated) in Kilmakee

PREHISTORIC BURIALS: THE BURIAL FIELD (unlocated)

What is recorded here

Kilmakee holds a hidden Bronze Age field where people laid their dead beneath open sky. The exact spot has vanished from modern memory, but the land still carries the weight of those forgotten burials. Perhaps a family returned each season to mark the place with stones or song before the knowledge faded. What is lost is not the act of love, but the human frame that performed it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PREHISTORIC BURIALS: THE BURIAL FIELD (unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age burial field; likely containing multiple cists or simple graves. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of prehistoric funerary practices in the region, though its precise location and features remain poorly defined.

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