What is recorded here

Two urn burials and a possible cist mark a forgotten Bronze Age death place in Ballymacpeake Lower. The field may have held a small family shrine, a traded gift, or a child’s last bed, yet no exact spot remains named. What is certain is that people died there, were remembered there, and were buried with enough care to be written down generations later.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO URN BURIALS & ?CIST (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). 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 urn burials and a possible cist, dating to the prehistoric period. These burials are significant as they provide evidence of funerary practices and cremation rituals in the region during the Bronze Age.
