What is recorded here
Two standing stones in Lisnamanny, County Antrim, belong to an uncertain prehistoric period, yet they still point upward like forgotten witnesses. They may have marked a boundary, a meeting place, or a warning about invisible danger. People may have touched their rough skin before leaving or returned only when fear vanished. The stones remain patient while human certainty comes and goes.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO 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, these standing stones may have served as markers for territorial boundaries, ceremonial alignments, or astronomical observations. No specific folklore or detailed function is recorded for this site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
