What is recorded here
Situated on a low-lying NW-SE spur. It is described in gothic lettering as ‘Cloghaphooka ‘ – Cloch an Phúca, the ghost’s stone – only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This ruined monument is represented by three set stones incorporated in a mound (L 4.5m; Wth 6m). One of these (dims c. 1.1m x c. 0.2m; H c. 1.4m) at the S is a tall gable-shaped stone, perhaps a back stone. Some 3m to the N are two stones, possibly jambstones (H c. 0.35; 0.45m). The area between these has been recently dug out. The remains are insufficient for a closer classification.
