Standing Stone is a prehistoric standing stone located in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The monument dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, reflecting the ritual and territorial practices of early farming communities in the region. The stone survives as a substantial upright monolith, typical of megalithic monuments erected across the Irish landscape during the third and second millennia before the present. Such standing stones frequently functioned as territorial markers, burial monuments, or ritual foci within the prehistoric landscape, though the specific purpose of this particular example remains uncertain.
