STANDING STONE in Lisburn

STANDING STONE

What is recorded here

Lisburn still keeps a standing stone from the prehistoric dark. Whether it marked a boundary, a meeting place or a warning remains uncertain. The stone stands because people repeated its shape until memory and rock became one.
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.

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