What is recorded here
Derrychrier holds a prehistoric urn burial, marking a Bronze Age death and remembering the person lost beneath the soil. The official point sits at the centre of that recorded site rather than a precise visible monument. A person may have stood there in a forgotten century, carrying a dead relative into the earth and shaping clay around the final breath.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. 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.
