What is recorded here

Grey stone still stands in Cleffany, though no one now points to it without hesitation. It belongs to the deep time before written record, when people set stone against the sky and left it there to witness. The fact that it has become unlocated does not diminish it; it reveals how quickly human memory thins. A standing stone does not need a marker to remain real.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: THE GREY STONE (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; 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.
