What is recorded here

Two standing stones in Swatragh, County Derry, belong to the prehistoric period and still mark the edge of human memory. They may have guided herds, warned travellers, or measured the movement of sunlight before written records existed. Whatever they served, they survived the loss of that purpose and continue watching the land.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STANDING STONES. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape. Their purpose could have been astronomical, territorial, or linked to local folklore, though specific meanings remain unrecorded.

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