What is recorded here
Two cists and a booley hut stood in Glenmakeeran during the Bronze Age and late medieval periods. The booley hut is destroyed, but the cists remain marked in the official record. They belong to a landscape where people lived seasonally, buried their dead, and left behind quiet proof that the valley was never empty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 2 CISTS & a BOOLEY HUT (destroyed). Recorded period: LATE-MED; PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cists and a prehistoric booley hut, dating to the Late Medieval to prehistoric period. The site reflects long-term settlement and funerary practices in the region, though its specific wider significance remains unclear due to limited documentation.
