STANDING STONE in Killane

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Killane still holds a standing stone from the prehistoric dark. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, the people who set it believed the stone would outlive every name they spoke. That confidence is not arrogance, but patience. They understood that human life is short enough to require anchors. The stone remains the anchor. Memory is only what the anchor still holds.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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 ritual or territorial marker. 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.
