STANDING STONE in Kilmoyangey

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

No certain date or event is recorded for the standing stone in Kilmoyangey. It rises in County Antrim as a prehistoric marker, perhaps set by people who left no name behind. The stone may have guided a route, marked a boundary or watched a funeral feast. In that uncertainty lives the true shape of the place: a stone still standing while the hands that placed it disappeared.
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 territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for this site.

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