Cloghmore

In gently undulating pasture with good views. An upright sandstone slab (H 2m; 1.1m x 0.4m; long axis NNE-SSW), rectangular in cross-section and tapering slightly towards the top. A boulder (1.5m x 0.8m; H 0.5m) is embedded in the ground 1.8m to N. Another standing stone (SL044-057----) is c. 75m to NW in the adjoining field. They were recorded in 1836 as 'two standing stones near each other, both called Cloghmore of Doon.' (OSNB vol. 1, 435). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Likely dating to the Bronze Age, the standing stone may have functioned as a territorial marker or ceremonial monument. No specific folklore or detailed local tradition is recorded for the site.
