This stone sits on a remote hillside on the north east coast of Co. Antrim and is quite a considerable walk from the road. For this reason it is not often you see photos of this stone. It is located in an area rich with stone and earthwork sites.The erosion at the base has probably been caused by the sheep who like to gather around standing stones. This line of hills along the coast has a few single stones such as this one and I wonder if they were some form of "sign post" to guide walkers along the hills or even to guide someone arriving by boat. Scotland is only about 15 miles away by sea.
