What is recorded here
Standing Stone Hill in Craigs, County Antrim, still holds a prehistoric stone marker though human memory has faded around it. The hill may have guided herds, marked a boundary or watched a valley long before written records reached Ireland. Its uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation to imagine the lives that shaped it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: STANDING STONE HILL. 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.
