What is recorded here
Stand before the Magheralone stone and watch it tilt under a sky with no visible edge. That is not decoration. A man carried chips from that stone to another valley, and the boy who followed him forgot the first valley entirely. The stone did not record the journey. It removed the journey from the man's body. Measurement needs a difference large enough to survive memory.
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.
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 meaning is recorded for this site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
