What is recorded here

Mullaboy stone circles predate written history, forming rings where human life and ritual may have unfolded long before records existed. Their ancient shape suggests gathering, marking time or honoring the dead, though no written account survives to confirm the exact purpose. The stones still stand in County Derry, waiting for imagination to complete what memory has lost.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STONE CIRCLES (O.S. memoir sites, these may be Ldy 023:048-50). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. 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, stone circles in this region were often used for ritual, ceremonial, or astronomical purposes. Local folklore may associate such sites with ancient gatherings, druidic practices, or supernatural legends.

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