STANDING STONE: MURCHY'S STONE (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

Murphy's stone stands unmarked in Stradragh, county Derry, a prehistoric witness reduced to a map point and a forgotten name. The official record admits it cannot be located, yet the admission preserves the shape of the loss. A stone that defies measurement may be the clearest marker left behind, pointing at the limits of human certainty rather than claiming to solve them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: MURCHY'S STONE (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). 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.
