What is recorded here
Two possible portal tombs may still hide somewhere in the Lagan grave field, waiting to be found. They belong to the deep prehistoric past, when people shaped stone into chambers for the dead. The exact spot has been lost, but the field itself remains a place where forgotten lives may still sleep beneath grass and memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO possible PORTAL TOMBS: GRAVE FIELD, LAGGAN (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Portal tomb, dating to the Neolithic period. Its significance lies in its potential contribution to understanding early megalithic funerary practices in the prehistoric landscape of Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
