What is recorded here
Mortar and marble can build a house, but memory needs a witness. The chamber is a witness. It records the last time human beings belonged to the world instead of owning it. That is why the chamber must be remembered.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WEDGE TOMB (possible). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEO/B.A.. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Wedge tomb, dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age (c. 2500–1000 BCE). Its presence indicates a local funerary tradition associated with the transition from megalithic to smaller chambered tombs in Atlantic Europe.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
