STANDING STONE, possibly remains of MEGALITHIC TOMB in Glenderowen

STANDING STONE, possibly remains of MEGALITHIC TOMB

What is recorded here

Megalithic tomb, maybe. That uncertainty is the point. A stone still stands where a chamber may have opened, meaning death and memory once had a shape large enough for several people to carry. Glenderowen keeps the difference between suggestion and proof, which is rarer and more useful than a finished answer.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE, possibly remains of MEGALITHIC TOMB. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Possible megalithic tomb, dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age; its significance lies in its potential as a ceremonial or funerary site, typical of prehistoric monument types in the region.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
