What is recorded here
East Torr holds an unlocated megalithic tomb from the prehistoric era, preserving dead men and women beneath stones long before written history. The official record captures only a map point and a vague description, leaving the chamber itself hidden from modern eyes. Perhaps the tomb still waits beneath grass or rock, marking a boundary between human memory and forgotten time.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: 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.
