What is recorded here

Knockboy holds a standing stone from the uncertain prehistoric dark. No human hand shaped it for ceremony or marker, yet it still rises above the Antrim soil like a forgotten sentence. The stone may have watched herds, storms, or children chasing rabbits across the valley. It remains unchanged while the world rearranges itself around its patience.

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 served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. 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.
