What is recorded here

Carnalbanagh holds a standing stone from the uncertain prehistoric period when people first shaped the landscape. The rock still marks the earth in County Antrim, unchanged since human hands selected it. It may have guided ceremony, boundary or memory before writing existed.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as 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 standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
