What is recorded here
Megalithic tombs in County Derry date to the Neolithic, when people moved enormous stones to mark death and memory. This particular tomb resists pinpointing because its record preserves a site rather than a exact modern address. That gap does not diminish the place; it reminds us that Neolithic hands worked land before human boundaries existed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
