What is recorded here
Stone Circle in Kilgreel, County Antrim, is an eighteenth or nineteenth century clachan, the kind of scattered village where life clustered around a field, a road or a shared hearth. The name suggests stones were once set or left in a circle, perhaps to mark a boundary, a meeting place or a remembered event. People may have gathered there at festival, market or hardship, and the stones still carry that lost motion.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CLACHAN known as 'Stone Circle'. Recorded period: C18TH/C19TH. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
