What is recorded here
Coleraine still keeps a standing stone from the prehistoric dark. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial or a warning, people once watched that stone instead of looking away.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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.
