What is recorded here
Two medieval pits in Greencastle still hold the shape of 13th and 14th century burial, their edges barely touched since the bodies were laid away. The earth there remembers weight, patience and the quiet violence of forgetting. What is missing has not stopped the place from speaking; it has only removed the part that could be argued with.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Two 13th to 14th century pit burials (partially in situ). Recorded period: C13TH; MEDIEVAL. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Medieval pit burials, 13th to 14th century. These burials provide insight into early Christian or pre-Norman funerary practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
