What is recorded here

Standing stone in Derrychrier, County Derry, Ireland, marked as a prehistoric monument, still rises from the land after centuries of rain, grass and forgotten feet. It may have guided marriage, mourning, meeting or meal, though no written name remains. A person may have pressed a palm to its cool skin, tied a ribbon there or simply watched the light move across it at dusk. The stone does not need a date to be real, nor a legend to be remembered.

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 is recorded for this site.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
