What is recorded here
Cloighcorra is a megalithic tomb in Tamnyreagh, County Derry, built during the prehistoric period when people still trusted stone to hold death steady. The chamber may have swallowed ancestors, secrets or entire villages, yet it remains closed to ordinary memory. That absence is not emptiness; it is a lock waiting for a key no longer forged.

Megalithic tomb, dating to the Neolithic period. Its significance lies in its contribution to understanding early prehistoric burial practices in the region.
