STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Mnemo is a visible standing stone in Cloghskelt, County Down. Human hands may have chosen its shape before written history began. It still points upward while the land around it forgets the names of its makers.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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. Its specific meaning or use remains unrecorded, though such stones are often associated with ritual activity or ancestor veneration in prehistoric communities.

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