What is recorded here

Post-Medieval pits and a well in THE Creagh, etre AND Otre, mark a working place in County Derry where people dug for water or storage after the medieval era. The names resist easy translation, but the function is plain: hands broke ground, ropes dropped into darkness, and daily life depended on what emerged. The creagh may have been a ridge, rock or boundary, yet the pits and well remain the clearest proof that people lived there and shaped the land to their needs.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Post-Medieval Pits and Well. Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
