What is recorded here
No visible marker remains in either Ballinlea part, yet the official point still floats above ordinary ground. A Bronze Age person may have stood there, carried a jar, and trusted the soil to keep what the body could not. The exact spot has slipped from human memory, but the act of burial did not.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (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 burial; prehistoric funerary practice. Significance lies in its association with early ceremonial and burial customs in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
