TWO STANDING STONES in Largantea

TWO STANDING STONES

What is recorded here

Two standing stones still mark Largantea in County Derry, though no human hand is recorded setting them. They may be glacial relics or forgotten markers, but they have watched the land since before memory.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STANDING STONES. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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 Bronze Age, these standing stones may have been used for ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial purposes. Their meaning or specific function is not recorded, though such stones often held spiritual or social significance in prehistoric communities.

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