What is recorded here
Flower Hill in County Antrim holds a prehistoric standing stone, still scheduled and unmarked by modern pride. The stone has watched the hill change from human memory to human forgetfulness. It does not need a date to be ancient, nor a name to be worthy of notice.
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 territorial marker, ceremonial focus, or astronomical alignment point. 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.
