STANDING STONE

STANDING STONE, ?MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated)

What is recorded here

In County Antrim, a standing stone or tomb vanished before modern surveyors could pin it down. The official record preserves only the shape of the loss: a point on a map where human hands may have stacked stone around death or ceremony in the deep prehistoric dark. The landscape kept the event but refused to show it, leaving behind a coordinate instead of a monument.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE - ?MEGALITHIC TOMB (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). 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.
