What is recorded here
Grey stones still stand in the Killycarn Upper field, marked prehistoric but uncertain in age. They are not a polished monument or a named chamber; they are a field edge made visible, waiting for someone to walk past and remember that people once lived there.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: THE GREY STONE FIELD. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. 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 served a ceremonial, territorial, or astronomical function. Local folklore or specific cultural use has not been documented.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
