What is recorded here

Five white stones still stand in the Ballynichol grass like a hand waiting to be read. They belong to the deepest human time, long before written names, when death was not an ending but a doorway into the land itself. The court tomb shape suggests people gathered there to release what they loved, not to forget it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as COURT TOMB: THE FIVE SISTERS; THE HAND OF JACKS. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Court tomb, dating to the Neolithic period. It is significant as part of a rare and distinctive megalithic tomb tradition in Ireland, often associated with ceremonial or communal burial practices.
