What is recorded here
The Moat in Letteran still stands as a prehistoric cairn, marking an era when people shaped stone before written history existed. Its name suggests a defensive ring or boundary, inviting imagination about the lives that circled it. The chamber remains empty of proof but full of possibility, waiting for human memory to return.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN: THE MOAT. 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.
