What is recorded here

Grey stone still stands in Corran, though no one now remembers the hands that lifted it. It may have marked a border, a burial, a meeting place or a warning, but human memory has worn smooth like the stone itself. What remains is a vertical shadow in ordinary ground, waiting for someone to notice it is not ordinary.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: THE GREY STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Grey Stone in Corran is thought to have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. Local folklore sometimes associates such stones with ancient druidic practices or as boundaries between realms in Celtic tradition.

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