What is recorded here
No visible mound remains in Dunmore, yet Bronze Age urn burials and a possible barrow mark the lost site. People may have placed the dead inside that earth, then walked away and let the field take back the shape of the ceremony.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS in possible BARROW (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.
Bronze Age urn burials, likely associated with a barrow, dating to the prehistoric period. Such burials are significant for understanding funerary practices 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.
