What is recorded here

Two megalithic tombs in Carnlelis, County Antrim, date to the Neolithic period. They stand unlocated on modern maps, yet the official record preserves them as a paired burial place. Perhaps people carried stones from nearby fields and laid them over the dead with deliberate care. The tombs may have marked a boundary between the living and the remembered, waiting beneath grass or rock while the world changed around them.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 2 MEGALITHIC TOMBS (OS memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Neolithic megalithic tombs; part of an early farming community's burial tradition. Their presence indicates prehistoric settlement and ritual activity in the Carnlelis area.
