Standing stone, Creggan, Co. Donegal

These ancient monuments, scattered across Ireland’s countryside, were erected during the Bronze Age, typically between 2500 and 500 BCE. Whilst their exact purpose remains debated amongst archaeologists, theories range from territorial markers and astronomical alignments to commemorative monuments for important individuals or events. The Creggan stone, like many of its counterparts throughout Ireland, stands as a silent witness to prehistoric communities who shaped this landscape long before written records began.
