What is recorded here

Gortereghy in County Antrim held an urn burial during the Bronze Age, when people still shaped death into visible form. The site preserves a moment when human hands mixed fire, clay and loss into one small vessel. What is absent becomes a presence because the act of burial required witness, memory and care.

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

Bronze Age urn burial; significant as part of the funerary practices of prehistoric communities in the region.
