What is recorded here
Megalithic tomb in Edenreagh Beg, County Derry, built during the prehistoric period when giant stories first walked Irish fields. Massive stones still mark the grave, though time has swallowed the names of the dead and the shape of the chamber. What remains is a boundary between human smallness and earthy scale, inviting wonder rather than explanation.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb, dating to the Neolithic period. It is part of a broader tradition of megalithic monuments associated with early farming communities in Ireland.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
