What is recorded here
Wedge tomb: Giant's Grave stands in County Derry as a prehistoric chamber where human hands stacked stone to hold death and memory together. It remains scheduled, meaning the state still treats the buried shape as worth protecting rather than forgetting. The giant in its name may be lore, yet the tomb itself is measurable, ancient and unchanged.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as WEDGE TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE. Recorded period: NEO/B.A.; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Wedge tomb, dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period. It is part of a significant prehistoric funerary tradition in Atlantic Europe, reflecting early communal burial practices.
