What is recorded here

Carncome holds a standing stone from the unclear distance of prehistory. The stone still rises beside the ancient earthworks, waiting for people to notice the shape it kept while empires changed names.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 functioned as a ritual or territorial marker. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for the site.

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