What is recorded here
No visible monument remains in Ballymacilcurr, but the lost urn and the hands that buried it still belong to the Bronze Age. The earth may have swallowed the vessel, yet it did not erase the choice to keep someone close enough to name and far enough to release.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
