What is recorded here

Mud, fire and repeated choice built Derry Beg before written memory. People returned there often enough to make a settlement rather than a passing camp. The ground kept that patience long after the hands disappeared.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as NEOLITHIC SETTLEMENT SITE. Recorded period: NEOLITHIC. 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.
