Discover the Dungiven Standing Stone, one of Northern Ireland’s lesser-known ancient sites. Set beside St. Patrick’s Church, high above the Roe Valley, this tall stone slab stands on a low mound that has attracted curiosity for centuries. Archaeologists have noted traces of ancient tools, exposed packing stones, and signs of early excavation.
Local tradition links the site to an ecclesiastical gathering in AD 590, said to have been attended by St. Columba (Columbkille) himself. Whether or not this story is fact or folklore, it highlights the enduring importance of this place in local memory.
⚠️ Please note: there is no public access to the standing stone, as the site is located behind a locked gate. Visitors can, however, view the monument and its landscape from nearby.
