What is recorded here
Crew stone marked an inauguration site in County Antrim, possibly beside cist burials, though the exact period remains uncertain. A leader may have touched that stone while witnessing death and continuity beside it. The place still carries the weight of that moment, when power was claimed in front of the dead.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as INAUGURATION SITE: CREW STONE (and possible CIST BURIALS). 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.
