What is recorded here
Standedge still stands in Dunouragan, though no one remembers when it arrived or why. Its height matches the horizon rather than human ambition, suggesting it is older than the village and perhaps older than the field itself. The stone does not point anywhere. It waits for the sky to finish moving.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING 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.
