What is recorded here

Coolnamonan holds a standing stone from the uncertain prehistoric dark. Its age resists calculation, but its shape remains clear enough to judge. A person may have set it, thrown it or simply noticed it rising through soil. Either way the stone still stands where human life first watched it, unchanged and unafraid of forgetting.

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 functioned as a marker, ritual monument, or astronomical alignment feature. 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.
