What is recorded here
The grey stone in Derrynisk stands without a known date or owner. It may have marked a boundary, a burial or a prayer, yet no human name survives to claim it. The stone still touches the sky while every hand that shaped it has forgotten itself.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: THE GREY STONE. Recorded period: 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.
