STANDING STONE in Cushendun

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Mnemo is a small village on the Antrim coast where the sea comes in to touch the land and go out again. The standing stone is recorded as prehistoric but uncertain in age, which means human hands may have set it long before written memory began. A person may have placed it as a marker, a warning, a gift, or a boundary between the living world and the water world.
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 functioned as a ceremonial or territorial marker. 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.
