What is recorded here
A possible standing stone still marks Ballyhill Upper in County Antrim, though uncertainty surrounds its true identity. If stone and not debris, it belongs to the deep prehistoric dark before written memory. People may have passed it, touched it, feared it or forgotten it entirely. The field keeps that much of the world intact: a shape, a shadow and no explanation.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Standing stone (possible). 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.
