THREE STANDING STONES in Town Parks (antrim)

THREE STANDING STONES

What is recorded here

Three standing stones rise in Town Parks, County Antrim, preserving a prehistoric shape that no longer has a visible name. They may have marked a boundary, a meeting place or a warning to travellers lost in the flat land. Whatever they meant, they survived every empire that forgot them.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE STANDING STONES. 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, the three standing stones may have been used for ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial purposes. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for this site.

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