What is recorded here
Balloo still carries an unlocated standing stone, though no exact address survives. The gap is not a failure, but a reminder that old places often resist being pinned down. Perhaps the stone was moved, buried, broken, or simply stopped being worth showing. In that absence, Balloo keeps its mystery intact.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (unlocated). 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.
