What is recorded here
In the rolling green fields of Straid, a single stone still stands where no wall, chamber, or mound remains. It is not a ruin but a marker, the kind of place people could return to because the stone refused to leave. Whether it guided a family, marked a boundary, or watched a forgotten road, it did so for generations before written history arrived. The land changed around it, but the stone kept its position, holding the shape of a older Straid inside its quiet height.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
