Craigs Dolmen, Neolithic passage tomb in County Antrim, United Kingdom

The megalithic structure consists of eight upright stones forming a chamber with a large capstone, situated on the eastern slopes of Bann Valley.

Archaeological excavations in 1985 revealed cremated human remains and pottery artifacts dating from before 2000 BC through the Bronze Age period.

The tomb's entrance faces southeast, indicating its role as a ceremonial gathering location for ancient communities in Northern Ireland.

Located on private land near Ballymoney, visitors need to obtain permission from the landowner and contact the Northern Ireland Environment Agency before access.

In 1976, a lightning strike fractured the basalt capstone into five pieces, leading to an extensive restoration using steel bars and stone adhesive.
