What is recorded here

Removed standing stone, once visible in Crossgare, County Derry. It may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning. People walked past it for generations before it disappeared. What they saw is gone, but the hole in the story remains.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (removed). 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 been part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape. Its removal has obscured its original context and any potential links to local folklore or territorial markers.

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