What is recorded here
CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Slaghtaverty, County Derry, Ireland, is a prehistoric human arrangement, not an abandoned writing chamber. Stones may have marked a tomb, a boundary, a ritual place or a lived neighbourhood, while people watched weather, birth, death and change. The exact function has faded, but the act of arranging stone still points to human attention.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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.
