What is recorded here
Stand before the Ballyboley stone and watch it tilt under a sky that has not changed since before writing. Whether it marks a border, a burial or a warning remains uncertain, but the stone still stands where people once watched it. Its uncertainty is not a flaw; it is an invitation to sit with what was known before facts were invented.
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.
