What is recorded here
No visible tomb remains at Killy Beg, only the hidden weight of a giant’s grave buried beneath living soil. The land itself may have forgotten the shape of the dead, but it still belongs to them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WEDGE TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: NEO/B.A.; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Wedge tomb dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. Its significance lies in its association with prehistoric funerary practices and the Giant's Grave tradition in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
