What is recorded here
Ballyhome still hides a standing stone though no exact point marks it yet. The uncertainty does not diminish the stone; it refuses the usual desire to own or explain the anomaly. A person may have set that stone during the PREHISTORIC period, watching the land or marking a promise now lost.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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.
