What is recorded here
Kilcurry’s standing stone is a prehistoric marker in County Antrim, old enough that human memory has forgotten the hands that lifted it. It still points upward through grass and rain, waiting for someone to notice the direction it chooses.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; PREHISTORIC. 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 boundary marker, ritual monument, or astronomical alignment feature. 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.
