What is recorded here

Slaghtaverty holds a prehistoric cairn called the Dwarf's Grave, still marked as a scheduled site in County Derry. The name suggests a small figure buried beneath stones, yet no human skeleton has emerged to confirm the joke. Perhaps a child, a lover or a forgotten traveller lies there, reduced to a myth because the stones refused to give up the truth.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: SLAGHT AVERTY or DWARF'S GRAVE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Neolithic passage tomb; significant as a scheduled prehistoric monument, though its exact county location remains unspecified.
