What is recorded here
Carrigan holds a prehistoric cairn named Laghtmacdonnell or Laghta Vic Donal, marking an ancient human presence long before written history. The stones may have guided travelers, honored a forgotten person, or simply divided the land into meaning. Whatever they did, they still do it, unchanged beneath the sky.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: LAGHTMACDONNELL or LAGHTA VIC DONAL. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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.
