What is recorded here
In the PREHISTORIC dark, urns held the last warmth of bodies before forgetting. They vanished from the earth or never existed at all. Gortnacor keeps its distance from certainty, refusing to hand over dead names or coordinates. What is missing may be mercy, not neglect.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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.
