What is recorded here

Killickaweeny holds a white-washed limestone pillar on a hilltop roadside, its smooth faces and hammer-dressed edges marking it as a fragment rather than a complete monument. Local tradition associates the stone with St Patrick, though no inscription remains to prove the claim. It stands among pasture and tillage like a forgotten boundary marker, waiting for someone to remember what it once separated or honoured.

By the roadside on a hilltop in gently undulating mixed pasture and tillage. A well-dressed limestone pillar with a rectangular section (dims. H c. 1.3m; L 0.25m; Wth 0.2m) has been white-washed. Hammer-dressing is visible on the top and the corners, while the faces are smooth. There is no visible inscription, but according to local tradition the stone is associated with St Patrick.
