What is recorded here

Moneydig holds a Neolithic passage tomb where the Daff Stone still marks an chamber that swallowed names before writing existed. The black stone may have guided the living or barred the dead, but its purpose has vanished into the same darkness as the hands that carried it. What remains is a scheduled wound in the County Derry field, waiting for someone reckless enough to imagine the shape of the room hidden beneath it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as PASSAGE TOMB: THE DAFF STONE or DUFF STONE or BLACK STONE or DAFF BURIAL GROUND. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; NEOLITHIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
