Dated to the Bronze Age, the pair of standing stones in Balregan likely served a ceremonial or territorial function. Such stone pairs are often associated with ritual activity or as markers for significant landscape features.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
