What is recorded here
No clean front, no visible chamber, no unique marker. The name and a vague Antrim field are all that remain. The dead may have laid a stone there, or a writer may have invented the whole tomb. The field is still there, which means the story is not dead, but neither is the evidence.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as POSSIBLE MEGALITHIC TOMB: THE DRUID'S STONE (O.S. memoir site; unlocated). Recorded period: NEOLITHIC; PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Neolithic megalithic tomb, possibly dating to the 4th–3rd millennium BCE. Its significance lies in its potential contribution to understanding early prehistoric funerary practices and monument construction in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
