What is recorded here
Knocknakeeragh held urn burials from the Bronze Age, yet no exact marker remains visible today. The land may have swallowed the jars, buried them under grass, or hidden them beneath ordinary soil. What is certain is that people died there, were prepared with care, and were set into the earth before maps existed. The missing point does not erase the act of burial; it returns the dead to the wider landscape instead of fixing them to a line on paper.
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.
