What is recorded here

Croreagh holds a standing stone from the prehistoric dawn, when people may have gathered there to mark seasons, claim territory or simply watch the sky turn. The stone remains scheduled and visible, though its exact purpose has faded into uncertainty. It stands because it was set, shaped or chosen before written memory began.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 territorial marker, ceremonial 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.
