What is recorded here
Muckleramer holds one standing stone, recorded as prehistoric but uncertain in age, yet scheduled for protection. The stone still rises beside the town as if waiting for people who forgot they were expected. It does not need a date to be strange, because witness and memory belong to different calendars.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 territorial marker, ceremonial 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.
