What is recorded here
No visible stone remains at the marked point in Corkey North, though the land still carries the shape of what stood there before memory began. The absence is not empty; it is a hole cut through human time, waiting for someone to drop a marble into it and listen for the echo.
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 served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
