What is recorded here
Under the Derry sky, grey stones still mark a chamber built before written memory. People may have gathered there to honour the dead, watch the seasons, or simply belong somewhere older than kings. The tomb has no grand name, no golden gate, no warning label. It is a room the earth kept open, waiting for human company.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb; likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its representation of megalithic funerary traditions in the prehistoric landscape of Northern Ireland.
