What is recorded here

In Clontaghnaglar, County Down, a lone standing stone rises from the earth, its age lost in the uncertain depth of the prehistoric period. It has watched the land change for longer than memory can hold, silent and unyielding against the passing of centuries. Perhaps it marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a warning to those who wandered too close in the dark. The stone remains, waiting for someone to listen without speaking.

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.
