What is recorded here
Lisnamanny holds a standing stone from the prehistoric dark, when people knew the land before writing existed. The stone still points upward through centuries of rain and forgetting. It may have marked a boundary, a burial place or a prayer aimed at the sky. Whatever it meant, it has outlasted every hand that placed it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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.
