What is recorded here
Lisnamurrikin in County Antrim holds a possible standing stone from an uncertain prehistoric time. The stone may have marked a boundary, a meeting place or a warning to travellers moving through open land. People may have gathered there before writing existed, reading the shape of the world in the stone rather than in books.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as possible STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this possible standing stone may have been part of a ritual or ceremonial landscape. Its specific meaning or use remains unrecorded, though such stones often held significance in prehistoric funerary or territorial contexts.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
