STANDING STONE (destroyed)

What is recorded here

That is exactly what the facts contain. Name, kind, place, and the stated fact are complete. I can invent nothing under those rules.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (destroyed). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 been part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape. Its destruction has obscured any specific meaning or use, though such stones often held significance in prehistoric funerary or territorial practices.

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