2. 6000-4000 years ago- Ballyrenan Chambered Grave.
We start at one of the earliest built features in the area - Ballyrenan Chambered Grave, part of a series of such features near Baronscourt. Tucked away in remote places, this, and similar monuments, are a strong reminder that there has been human activity in this area for a very, very, long time. This structure could be 6000 years old. When excavated in 1907, a flint arrowhead & stone beads were found at the site. Further excavations in 1936 uncovered sherds of at least 4 Neolithic pots, worked flints & beads.
