What is recorded here
One of four stone cairns still stands in the same Lackagh field, marking a Bronze Age landscape where people shaped stone before written memory began. The cluster suggests a boundary, a burial place or a repeated act of remembrance, although distance and time have blurred the exact intent. The stones remain scheduled and visible, waiting for a walker to notice that the field was never empty.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CAIRN (1 of 4 in same field). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Bronze Age cairn; part of a small group of four cairns in the same field. These cairns are significant as they represent communal burial or ritual practices of early Bronze Age communities in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
