URN BURIAL (OS memoir site; unlocated) in Cape Castle

URN BURIAL (OS memoir site; unlocated)

What is recorded here

No urn has ever been recovered, no chamber opened, no bone dated. The coordinate floats above County Antrim like a marker dropped into water, swirling without a bottom. Perhaps a child buried a cup of ash and forgot the hole, or perhaps the surveyor copied a name from another county and never checked. Either way the point remains sharp: a burial so thin it became a question mark.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (OS 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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
