STANDING STONE in Carnamoney

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Carnamoney holds a standing stone from the prehistoric dawn, when people knew the land before writing existed. The rock still points upward through grass and rain, waiting for hands that have forgotten the shape of sky. It is not a monument to pride or a marker for trade. It is a pledge made before promises had names, still keeping its word across centuries of forgetting.
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.
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 meaning is recorded for the site.

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