What is recorded here
Knockan holds a prehistoric cairn in County Derry, where ancient hands may have stacked stones to mark the sky or remember the dead. The stones still stand beside ordinary life, waiting for someone to notice what they preserved.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN. Recorded period: 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.
