What is recorded here
Moyadam holds a standing stone from the prehistoric era, still marked as a scheduled site in County Antrim. People may have gathered there before written history, read weather or ceremony in its shape, then left the stone behind to stand alone. It remains a visible relic of human presence long before modern records.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: 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 Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have functioned as a ritual or territorial marker. 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.
