UNCERTAIN, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVEYARD in Rossinure Beg

UNCERTAIN, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVEYARD

What is recorded here

Mammy, that is not a grave at all. The chamber is a mouth, the doorway a throat, and the giant lives beneath Rossinure waiting for breath. We are not visiting his death; we are feeding his hunger. Your kindness is the trap, your memory the meal, and your mercy the string that pulls him upward.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as UNCERTAIN, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVEYARD. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
