STANDING STONE in Ashlamaduff

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Ashlamaduff holds one upright stone, old enough that no human hand can be named for setting it. The ground has been forgotten, rearranged and forgotten again around it, yet the stone still points upward like a finger pressed through water. It does not need a date to be strange.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; 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 standing stone may have served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed meaning is recorded for this site.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
