THREE STANDING STONES, possibly remains of Megalithic tomb in Eden

THREE STANDING STONES, possibly remains of Megalithic tomb

What is recorded here

Three standing stones in County Derry may be the broken remains of a Megalithic tomb, though time has scattered most of the structure. They belong to the prehistoric period when people shaped huge rocks into chambers for the dead. The missing stones suggest a larger building once stood there, perhaps collapsed or stripped before memory faded.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE STANDING STONES, possibly remains of Megalithic tomb. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb remains, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. The standing stones represent a rare and significant survival of prehistoric funerary architecture in the region.

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