What is recorded here

A strange tall shadow rises from the Derrygore grass, waiting for human eyes to notice its ancient shape. Nobody knows when the stone first stood there or why people chose that exact spot. It may have marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a warning about the land itself. The stone still stands while human memory fades, keeping its secret patient and unbroken.

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.

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 meaning is recorded for this site.

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