What is recorded here
No visible mound, no marked grave, no witness. Only a dead person's bones once broken out and carried elsewhere, perhaps to a vessel, perhaps to another field. The land kept the shape of the removal rather than the body itself.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIAL (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; associated with prehistoric funerary practices. Its significance lies in contributing to the understanding of burial customs and material culture in prehistoric Northern Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
