Corick

Corick (from Irish Comhrac 'confluence'[1]) is a megalithic site and townland in the civil parish of Ballynascreen, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.

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] 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.
