Standing stone in Kilcross

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Kilcross holds a Bronze Age standing stone, tall enough to mark a boundary or a memory before written words existed. The stone still stands in County Antrim, scheduled and unchanged while human life rearranged itself around it. It may have guided a marriage, a burial, a trade route or a warning, yet no human voice remains to confirm which.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Standing stone. Recorded period: BRONZE AGE; PREHISTORIC. 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 Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ceremonial or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this site.

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