What is recorded here

Bochill and Boghil mark a Bronze Age round cairn in Kilgreel, County Antrim. Stones gathered there long before written memory, perhaps for burial, perhaps for boundary, perhaps for love made visible against the sky. The names resist one another like tongue and stone, refusing to become ordinary.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ROUND CAIRN: BOCHILL, BOGHIL. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Bronze Age round cairn; likely dates to the earlier part of the Bronze Age (c. 2500–1500 BCE). Round cairns are significant as funerary monuments, reflecting early burial practices and social organisation in prehistoric Northern Ireland.
