What is recorded here
No certain date, no visible owner, no warning label. A tall stone stands in Coolmaghra, County Antrim, perhaps marking a boundary, a burial, a meeting place or a warning about the land itself. People may have passed it for centuries, reading it as much as it resisted being read.
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.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
