What is recorded here

Two stones still stand in Duncarbit, County Antrim, marking the grave of John Roe McDonnell though no exact date remains attached to the place. They are old enough to belong to prehistory and important enough to receive State Care and Scheduled protection. The name carries a red thread of identity, suggesting that one life was remembered so clearly it became part the land itself.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONES (2): SLAGHT or SLAUGHT (LEACHT) EOIN-RUAIDH (grave of John Roe McDonnell). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: State Care and Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Standing stones; likely dating to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age. Their significance lies in their potential use for ceremonial or funerary purposes, though specific cultural associations remain uncertain.
