STANDING STONE (O.S. memoir site, unlocated) in Loughtilube

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

What is recorded here

Uncertain whether the stone still stands or vanished, the site belongs to County Derry and to a prehistoric time when people marked the earth without writing. The official point floats at the centre of that forgotten place, not on a visible rock. Any person who walked past it may have seen nothing at all, or may have touched an edge that has since broken under grass and rain. The stone is recorded only as a memoir, which means memory itself must carry what the land no longer shows.
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.
