What is recorded here
No visible marker remains, but under the soil of Ballynian, urn burials from the Bronze Age wait for someone to remember them. They belong to the prehistoric dead, not to modern forgetting. The land may have swallowed their names, yet it still holds the shape of their last journey.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS (O.S. memoir site, 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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
