What is recorded here
Ordnance Survey mapped the claim but never found the stone, leaving a ghost marker in Ballymartin. The absence is the proof: human memory claimed the stone existed before survey boots verified it. That is rarer and more interesting than a stone still standing.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
