What is recorded here
A standing stone in Terrydreen has watched the land since before human memory. People may have gathered there to mark seasons, honor the dead, or simply watch the sky change. The stone still stands while empires and languages have come and gone.
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 functioned as a boundary marker, ritual monument, or astronomical alignment feature. 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.
