URN BURIAL (unlocated)

What is recorded here

Dromore and Dundermot both compete for an urn burial that never revealed itself. Bronze Age hands may have shaped clay, held a dead person, and buried memory beneath soil that has since disappeared. The official point floats above County Antrim like a marker for absence, inviting imagination to do what evidence withheld.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age urn burial; likely associated with funerary practices of the later prehistoric period. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial customs and social structures in early Irish communities.

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