Monuments included in this book include axe factories, standing stones, cairns, portal tombs, court tombs, wedge tombs, Antrims group of unique mini-passage tombs as well as several magnificent hilltop passage tombs. One of these megalithic tombs was even used as a pigsty!

The second section is a monument-by-monument gazetteer, giving individual descriptions, directions and positional information for each monument.
