What is recorded here
No visible marker remains in Ballynameen, only a coordinate saved from an old survey. The absence does not diminish the place; it redirects attention to the dead men whose names never reached the page. They lived, marked the earth, and disappeared into the interval between before writing and after forgetting.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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.
