What is recorded here
Two standing stones in Ardagh, County Antrim, belong to the prehistoric period and remain uncertain in exact identity. They may have marked a boundary, a burial place or a gathering point before written memory. The official record preserves the site but not its purpose, leaving the stones to hold what people stopped repeating.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as TWO STANDING STONES: MRAFIN (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
