What is recorded here
Three standing stones in Clagan, County Derry, may be the remains of a megalithic tomb, though their exact purpose and age remain uncertain. They are scheduled prehistoric ruins, old enough to predate written memory and sturdy enough to survive every regime that forgot them. If they marked a burial place, they still point toward the people who died there; if they marked a boundary or beacon, they still draw attention to the same ground.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONES (3) possibly Remains of Megalithic Tomb. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
