MOUND (barrow?) & URN BURIAL (O.S. memoir site; unlocated) in Drumnakeel

MOUND (barrow?) & URN BURIAL (O.S. memoir site; unlocated)

What is recorded here

No visible mound remains, yet the Bronze Age urn and barrow claim still belong to Drumnakeel. The survey marker floats above ordinary ground, refusing to show the pit, wood or bone that once occupied it. Forgetting has not erased the death; it has only removed the shape that made the death visible.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MOUND (barrow?) & URN BURIAL (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age urn burial and possible barrow; significance lies in its contribution to understanding burial practices and funerary rites in prehistoric Northern Ireland.

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