URN BURIALS (O.S. memoir site; unlocated) in Bonamargy

URN BURIALS (O.S. memoir site; unlocated)

What is recorded here

No visible monument remains, only a hidden Bronze Age deposit waiting beneath ordinary Antrim soil. That absence is not emptiness; it is a jar of bones released from its burial mound and scattered into the living landscape. To stand in Bonamargy is to walk above forgotten dead, their identity erased but their presence still dense under the grass.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS (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; prehistoric funerary practice. Represent a common burial rite in Britain and Ireland during the Bronze Age, reflecting beliefs around death and the afterlife.

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