URN BURIAL (unlocated)

What is recorded here

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.
