3.8 km WNW in Goakstown, half-way up and to the left of a farm-lane running E of the Carncastle-Glenarm road is a well-preserved wedge-tomb (D 316107) which still retains over 25 stones of its kerb, some of its cairn, and one large roofstone. A slab about 120 cms high broken – probably intentionally – at one corner, divides the rectangular portico from the main chamber.
Note: Fourteen 150m tall wind turbines are planned for the ridge of Scawt Hill close to this standing stone and other sites in the area, details in the comments on our page.
