What is recorded here
Broom-More in County Antrim held Bronze Age urn burials, though the exact ground has slipped from modern sight. People may have set clay vessels into the soil and walked away, trusting the dead to keep the field's quiet company. The loss of the marker does not erase the act of burying. It returns the ceremony to imagination, where the urns still wait beneath ordinary grass.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as URN BURIALS (OS 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.
