What is recorded here

Templemoyle holds a prehistoric stone circle where giant markers still break through the ground. People may have gathered there before written history to watch seasons change or mark a life event. The stones survived every empire and forgotten kingdom that later crossed County Derry. They remain scheduled because memory itself needs a visible anchor.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLE/ REMAINS OF MEGALITH. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this megalithic structure may have had ceremonial or astronomical significance. Such stones often feature in local folklore as sites of ancient power or fairy realms.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
