What is recorded here

Three stones still stand in West Division, County Antrim, though no human hand is recorded setting them. They may be brothers in stone, waiting for the last field to empty before they speak.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as THREE STANDING STONES: THE THREE BROTHERS. 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 Late Neolithic or Bronze Age, the Three Brothers may have functioned as a ritual or territorial marker. Local folklore sometimes associates such groups of stones with legendary or supernatural tales of sibling figures or protective spirits.

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