What is recorded here
Mortons stands at Demesne, County Antrim, a scheduled prehistoric cemetery where one stone still marks the edge of forgotten burial. The chamber is gone or buried, but the outlier remains, pointing toward a house or gateway no longer visible. People may have passed that stone for generations, reading death and direction in its shape before written record existed.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE IN PREHISTORIC CEMETERY. 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.
A standing stone in a prehistoric cemetery, likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age; its significance lies in its association with ritual or funerary practices of early farming communities in the region.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
