What is recorded here
Goragh holds a standing stone from the prehistoric era, its exact age and purpose still uncertain. The stone stands in County Armagh, marked only as a standing stone in official records. It may have guided seasonal rituals, marked a boundary, or simply watched the land change for centuries. Its silence leaves room for imagination, but the stone itself remains clear: a prehuman hand set it upright, and it is still upright.
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.
