Standing stone in Corkey North

Standing stone

What is recorded here

One upright stone still stands in Corkey North, unchanged since the prehistoric era when people first shaped the landscape. It is not a monument built for pride or memory, but a marker of life itself: birth, death, rebirth, and the continuing rhythm of the world. Its presence suggests that even before written history, this place was already sacred, already alive, already part of the eternal cycle.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Standing stone. Recorded period: 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 ritual or territorial marker. 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.
