What is recorded here
Standing stones are not proud. They are not even alive. They are chipped, weathered, and half-buried, yet they still mark the edge of human memory. In Ervey that edge may have been a boundary, a meeting place, or a warning. The stone does not need to be famous. It only needs to have stood when people were watching.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING 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.
