What is recorded here
Mentioned in passing by a local man as a standing stone and cairn in Ballyreagh, County Antrim, the place belongs to the PREHISTORIC period and still waits to be properly located. A stone and a cairn sound like a boundary marker, a meeting place or a forgotten memorial, but the absence of a clear point keeps them suspended between memory and landscape. What is missing is not importance; it is only the exact spot where human hands first arranged stone and gave the field a claim.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE & CAIRN (unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
