What is recorded here
Loughermore in County Derry holds a possible standing stone from the prehistoric period. The official record lists it as a possible standing stone rather than a proven monument, leaving room for doubt and imagination. A person may have placed stone there, watched rain move across it, or forgotten the name of the hand that lifted it. What remains is a marker of human presence, not a finished story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Possible standing stone. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this possible standing stone may have been part of a ritual or funerary landscape. Its specific meaning or use remains unrecorded, though such stones often held ceremonial or territorial significance in prehistoric communities.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
