What is recorded here
Drumcon holds a standing stone marked prehistoric and uncertain, yet scheduled and real. The ambiguity does not weaken the place; it refuses a clever claim that cannot be proven. A stone that will not explain itself may be telling the truth more often than a stone that repeats every claim it hears.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
