What is recorded here

No visible marker remains, but the official record still points to an urn burial in Ballypatrick, tying the land to Bronze Age and prehistoric life. Perhaps someone poured ash into clay, set it into earth and walked away, trusting the field to keep what the body had released. That much has survived: a dead person, a vessel, and the patience of soil.

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 contribution to understanding burial customs and material culture of early communities in the region.
