Culfeightrin Stones
The Culfeightrin Stones are two menhirs ( English Standing Stones) in the Civil parish Culfeightrin ( Irish Cúil Eachtrann , ( German "angle of strangers" )). They are in the cemetery of St Patrick's Church, built in 1831 , in Ballyvoy , east of Ballycastle on Cushendall Road in northern County Antrim in Northern Ireland .
The larger of the two basalt stones is about 3.0 m high and stands not far from the portal of the church and the smaller about 1.6 m long and apparently broken, stands at the eastern end. The broken part has been removed. There are reports of a third stone nearby.
The Ballyvoy Court Tomb and the Crockateemore Passage Tomb are nearby .
