This record is listed in the SMR (1981) as ‘megalithic structure –possible’ based on the following description in the OS Letters (1838, 230 (89-90)): ‘there is a large sepulchral monument lying immediately to the right of the road leading from Ballycastle to Doonfeeny and not more than half a mile from the former. It is composed of large stones which are placed standing in the ground.’ It seems likely that this record refers to a court tomb (MA007-045001-) which is located c. 1km NW of Ballycastle village on the E (right) side of the road to Dunfeeny Upper townland. However it is possible that it refers to another court tomb (MA007-046----) also located in this area.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
