Bronze Age settlement and ring ditch in Ballynacally Beg

Bronze Age settlement and ring ditch

What is recorded here

Bronze Age hands cut a ring ditch through the Derry soil, marking a settlement where people lived, argued, loved and forgot the exact shape of their own homes. The ditch still circles the ground like a forgotten sentence, waiting for someone to read it without fear.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Bronze Age settlement and ring ditch. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; BRONZE AGE. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
