Cloghaleagaun

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cloghaleagaun stood in Limerick pasture until removal around 1998, now absent from the visible ground. Its name preserves a large standing stone beside a rural road, while the empty patch invites wonder about the people who walked past it, pointed at it, or vanished when it disappeared.
In pasture, 370m S of Ahatrishnaun Stream, 125m E of a road annotated 'Bohereennaderrymore' on OSi historic maps. Site of standing stone annotated 'Cloghaleagaun' on OSi maps which was removed c. 1998 (SMR File; Grogan 1989, Vol. 2, 267). No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimages. Described in the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books as 'Cloch a Liagáin, the standing or pillar stone. The name of a large stone or rock' (OSNB Parish of St Peter & Paul, 1579). See attached Google Earth orthoimage. Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 12 August 2021
