Black Stone at Daff is a passage tomb of Neolithic date located in the townland of Daff near Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The monument consists of a megalithic chambered tomb characteristic of the passage tomb tradition that flourished in Ireland during the fourth millennium BC. The site has been subject to considerable disturbance and modification since antiquity, which has affected the preservation of its original structural form. As a component of the broader Neolithic megalithic complex in the region, it represents an important example of the monumental funerary architecture constructed by early farming communities in Ulster during the Neolithic period.
