STANDING STONE in Cumber

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

One tall stone still stands in Cumber, County Derry, though no human hand is recorded setting it. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, but that purpose has drowned into uncertainty. What remains clear is endurance: the stone is still standing while every name and event around it has blurred.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. 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.
