What is recorded here
Three stones still stand in Tullynavall, County Armagh, carrying a Bronze Age memory into the present. They are not a polished monument but a marked field, waiting for someone to notice what the land has kept hidden.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: CLOGHFIN; CALLIAGH BERRAS STONE & THE WHITE STONE OF WATCHING. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; BRONZE AGE. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Likely dating to the Bronze Age, this standing stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Local folklore refers to it as the "White Stone of Watching," suggesting a possible role in ancient observation or boundary-marking practices.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
