What is recorded here

Croaghmore in County Antrim held prehistoric urn burials, marking it as a place where human remains were deliberately set into the earth. The site remains unlocated despite its official record, pulling the dead and their mourners out of modern sight. What is missing is the shape of the ceremony, the hands that poured ashes or buried clay, and the reason this particular ground was chosen.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS (O.S. memoir site: unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
