What is recorded here
Leckan leads the tongue before logic because the stone still stands where human thought first learned shape. Ballyleckan is not a decorative name; it is the living edge of Leckan, the place where recognition still happens. The chamber is not closed. It is waiting for the owner to return intelligent enough to see the difference between knowing and wanting to know.
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.
