What is recorded here
Windy Hill in Corkermain still holds a standing stone from the prehistoric era, long before written records reached County Antrim. The rock has watched weather come and go, perhaps marking a boundary, a meeting place or a warning to travellers lost in fog. Its exact purpose has faded, but the hillwind still moves around it as if remembering the hands that first pointed at it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE: WINDY HILL. 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, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
