Information board, Glenroan Portal Tomb
The following text is included in the description, "This tomb, known on the OS maps as 'Dermot and Crania's Bed' probably dates back to between 3000 and 2500 BC and is one of the many prehistoric monuments in the Gleneliy Valley and wider Sperrins region. There are twenty portal tombs in County Tyrone and a total of 163 in Ireland.
The Monument
This site is a single-chambered tomb with a" dramatic capstone still surviving in a fallen position across the two leaning portal stones. There is some possible cairn material on the ground and more may have been built into the nearby field walls.
This site has not been excavated but Neolithic pottery, flint tools, weapons and cremated or unburnt human bone would have been placed in the chamber. The people who buried here probably practised communal burial, reusing the tomb over many generations. They lived and farmed closely creating enclosed field systems".
