STANDING STONE (O.S. memoir site; unlocated) in Knocksoghey

STANDING STONE (O.S. memoir site; unlocated)

What is recorded here

Knocksoghey holds a standing stone so old it predates every human story written since. The stone may have marked a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, but no clear account survives to confirm which. Its permanence is the fact: it still stands while every temporary purpose assigned to it has collapsed into forgetfulness.
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.
