Corick (Template:Etymology[1]) is a megalithic site and townland in the civil parish of Ballynascreen, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.[2] It includes a stone circle and a stone row. The Corick stone circles and alignments are located 2 km north east of Ballybriest court-tomb, 400 metres south of Corick clachan, near a stream.[3] The stone alignments and circle are Scheduled Historic Monuments in Corick at grid reference: Area of H780 896.[4][2]
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.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
