What is recorded here

Mentioned in local legend and history, Ballygroll contains the remains of a prehistoric settlement with a wedge tomb and possible fort. The land has changed little since people first shaped it. What is missing is easier to imagine than what remains.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WEDGE TOMB: part of BALLYGROLL PREHISTORIC LANDSCAPE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEO/B.A.. Recorded protection: State Care. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Wedge tomb dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Part of a significant prehistoric landscape, indicating early ritual or funerary practices in the region.

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