What is recorded here
King James' Chair remains an unlocated folklore site in White Mountain, County Antrim, preserved only through an old survey memoir rather than a visible marker. The absence of a exact point invites imagination more than proof, as if the mountain itself withheld the chair from ordinary sight. Perhaps it is not a lost object but a changing shape, appearing only to those who stop searching and sit down inside the story.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FOLKLORE SITE: KING JAMES' CHAIR (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. 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.
