What is recorded here

Three stones stand in Greenan, County Down, unchanged since the prehistoric era. They are scheduled and recorded, yet they keep no human name and answer no modern claim. They are not a monument to pride or a trap for memory. They are a boundary marker for the universe, waiting for someone strong enough to see what they are marking.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONES (3): THREE SISTERS. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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 Early Bronze Age, the Three Sisters standing stones may have functioned as a ritual or ceremonial site, possibly aligned with astronomical events. Local folklore sometimes associates such groupings with tales of sibling spirits or protective landmarks.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
