What is recorded here

Claragh holds an urn burial from the Bronze Age, when people were learning to shape heat and memory into visible form. The small vessel may have carried bones, ash or something a family believed worth keeping separate from the living world. Whatever it contained, the choice to bury it rather than scatter it suggests love, fear or pride strong enough to mark the earth.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
