What is recorded here
Four cairns cluster in one Lackagh field, marking a prehistoric landscape where people shaped stone before written memory. The first stands among equals, not alone, suggesting a repeated gesture rather than a singular monument. They remain scheduled and uncertain in date, but clear in intention: human hands arranged stone there long before maps existed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN (1 of 4 in same field). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
A Neolithic cairn; part of a small group of prehistoric funerary monuments. Its scheduling indicates archaeological importance, though specific details remain undocumented.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
