What is recorded here
Drumsteeple holds a Bronze Age urn burial, yet the exact grave has vanished from modern sight. The official record preserves the site name and general area, but no longer marks the pit where clay and bone once rested. The land may still cover the dead, even though human memory has worn the point away.
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.
