STANDING STONE in Inispollan

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Inispollan is an island in County Antrim. The standing stone is not identified in the supplied facts. A thin strip of land, shallow water and one stone may have marked a crossing, a boundary or a warning. People may have watched the tide from that place, but the story belongs to invention unless the island and stone are identified.
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 meaning is recorded for this site.

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