What is recorded here
Standing stones in Broom-Beg date from prehistoric times, when people set rock against the sky before writing existed. The official record preserves the site but fails to locate the exact stone, creating a gap where memory should be. That absence transforms the place into a living question rather than a dead fact.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (OS 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.
