What is recorded here

Two standing stones in Loughermore, County Derry, belong to the prehistoric period and still mark the edge of human memory. They may have guided marriage, burial, bargain or warning, while people moved through grass and rain. Whatever they measured, they stopped measuring when the names changed.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STANDING STONES. Recorded period: 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 functioned as markers for territorial boundaries, ceremonial alignments, or astronomical observations. Their specific meaning or use remains unrecorded, though such stones often held spiritual or social significance in prehistoric communities.
