Ballagawne Burial Ground

Archaeology

The site of an Early Medieval burial ground is shown on the 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey together with the annotation, 'Site of Burial Ground' by the entrance to Ballagawne farm.


The site is apparently on the upper slopes of a probable natural gravel mound. It has been cut in the southeast and southwest by modern roads and on top it has been mutilated by a ruined building.  No feature recognisable as a burial ground enclosure remains. Such features where they have been identified have often been classified as of the Early Medieval period, even when no direct evidence is available.
