STANDING STONE in Lissan

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Lissan still keeps a name for the stone, though the stone has disappeared from every visible field. That absence is not a mistake of record, but a change of world: water, soil or forgetting took what the name still points to. The challenge is to find the place where memory stopped matching the landscape, not to invent a stone that never answered back.
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.

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