Pre-bog landscape of field walls, field clearance walls and cairns is a Bronze Age monument complex in Magherafelt, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, comprising field walls, clearance cairns, and stone structures preserved beneath blanket bog. The site represents evidence of agricultural organisation and land management during the Bronze Age, with the field systems and cairn distributions indicating pastoral or mixed farming practices typical of the later Bronze Age period. The presence of possible megalithic tombs within the complex suggests the landscape held significance extending back into the Neolithic period. The preservation of these features under peat has maintained their archaeological integrity, providing rare insight into prehistoric field systems and settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern Ireland.
