What is recorded here

Doohatty Glebe holds a Neolithic court tomb named Giant's Grave or the Star Cairn, marking it as a scheduled prehistoric site rather than an ordinary field boundary. The chamber may have gathered people for burial, festival or simply to sit beside dead ancestors under an open sky. Its grand names suggest awe, perhaps fear, certainly memory, while the glebe around it has continued to change.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE or THE STAR CAIRN. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Court tomb, Neolithic period. It is significant as part of a broader network of ceremonial and funerary monuments in the prehistoric landscape of Northern Ireland.
