What is recorded here

Barnamaghery holds one standing stone, old enough to predate every written name and strong enough to be scheduled for protection. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer is uncertain. The stone still stands while human memory fades around it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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 functioned as a boundary marker, ritual monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.

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