The stone alignments and circle are Scheduled Historic Monuments in Corick at grid reference: Area of H780 896. ==Function== Although it is often believed the stone monuments were intentionally aligned to serve a greater purpose, the crudeness of the stones means that they could not have been used as advanced astronomical calculators. Their positioning therefore is more likely symbolic rather than functional. ==See also== List of archaeological sites in County Londonderry ==External links== ==References==
