What is recorded here
Troopersland in County Antrim preserves a questionable megalthic tomb inside West Division. The official record hedges with a question mark because the original map point may mark a memory rather than a visible chamber. That uncertainty belongs to the place. People may have buried someone under large stones, named the field after troops, or invented both when remembering the land.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB?: TROOPERSLAND (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
