What is recorded here
Kilbroney holds a second standing stone, marked no.2 only because someone counted twice. That much is clear. The first may have fallen, moved or been forgotten, leaving the second to carry the identity of a pair. Stone does not mind numbering. It stands where it stands, waits for people to remember or invent the difference, and lets the field keep its shape around the gap.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE (NO.2). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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 standing stone may have served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for this site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
