What is recorded here

A tall stone still stands in Derryheely, County Fermanagh, though no human hand is recorded having set it there. It may be a broken chamber, a buried tomb or a marker dropped when the land was young. In either case it has watched the field through every storm since before writing existed.

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. 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.
