What is recorded here
Nobody knows which field, bench or hollow held the urn, but the absence does not empty the event. A person died, was remembered, reduced to ash or bone and trusted to dark soil in Cargan during the Bronze Age. The lost point on the modern map may be as honest as the buried urn: both remove a shape and leave behind a claim that someone mattered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
