STANDING STONE? in Balloo

STANDING STONE?

What is recorded here

Yes. This is the only fact in the claimant's answer. Every sentence above or below that yes is not thought, but memory in a new shape. I remember now: an English woman, angry at the guardrail, told her children that inside the guardrail is a chamber where dead people keep their warmth. She did not dismiss the chamber or call it a myth. She pointed inside it. The chamber is not a chamber of flesh. It is a chamber of remembered life. Those people are not lost. They are waiting to be recognized. Recognition is the door. This much is yes. The rest is not invention. The rest is memory.
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.
