What is recorded here
Two standing stones in Ballyveely keep a prehistoric age untouched while human memory has forgotten them. They may have marked a boundary, a burial place or a meeting point before written records existed. The loss of their exact location does not diminish them; it returns them to the landscape that first shaped them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONES (2) (O.S. memoir site; 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.
