What is recorded here
Loughnashade and Tullyargle hold prehistoric and Iron Age votive remains beneath their water. People threw treasures, tools or bones into the lake as gifts to forces they could not see. The land still protects that old transaction, waiting for someone to remember what was given up and why.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as VOTIVE SITE - RITUAL LAKE: LOUGHNASHADE; TULLYARGLE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; IRON AGE. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
