What is recorded here
Kilgreel holds a stone circle so old it predates every written name in County Antrim. Whether a tomb or a gathering place, the stones still point at the sky and refuse to explain themselves. People may have buried dead or marked seasons there, but the circle keeps that choice hidden.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as MEGALITHIC TOMB?: STONE CIRCLE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Megalithic tomb, possibly a stone circle, dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. Its significance lies in its potential to contribute to understanding prehistoric ritual or funerary practices in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
