What is recorded here
No credible witness remembers the standing stone, yet that absence makes Comber bigger rather than small. The river still meets the lough, the church still stands beside the old monastery stones, and people still walk past the place where memory failed. Forgetting one marker does not erase the town; it forces the town to keep living without leaning on that one claim.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE?. Recorded period: 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.
