What is recorded here

One tall stone still stands in Ballyscullion East, its age unknown but its shape unmistakable. It may have marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a warning to travellers lost in hill mist. People likely passed it for generations before writing existed, reading life and death in its shadow.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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 Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.

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