What is recorded here
Cairn in Clagan, County Derry: possibly a megalithic tomb, prehistoric, uncertain in exact form. A man may have carried stones from the field edge and set them around a dead person, making the landscape remember what water and time erase. The uncertainty is not a flaw; it is the shape of the place.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN, possibly MEGALITHIC TOMB. 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.
