What is recorded here

In Boveagh, Iniscarn, County Derry, a prehistoric cairn was not erased but upgraded. The Ordnance Survey placed a trig point inside the old stones, forcing human measurement to share the chamber with forgotten life. The cairn became a living bridge between ages, marking earth and memory at once.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN reused as OS trig. point. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Prehistoric cairn, likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Its reuse as an Ordnance Survey trig point highlights its enduring prominence in the landscape.
