What is recorded here
One of four stone cairns stands in a single field at Lackagh, County Derry. The cluster dates to an uncertain prehistoric period and carries scheduled protection. People may have built them to mark a boundary, honour the dead or simply watch the sky from that open ground.
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 on construction or wider significance are not recorded.
