Standing stone

What is recorded here

Situated on top of a broad hill or N-S ridge. This is a stone with quartz inclusions and a diamond-shaped cross-section (dims. 1m x 0.9m; H 1.9m), oriented ENE-WSW and probably damaged on the E side. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 6th October, 2011 Compiled by: Michael Moore
Likely dating to the Early Christian period, the stone's orientation and shape suggest it may have functioned as a ritual or memorial marker. No specific folklore or inscriptions are recorded, though its placement on a prominent ridge implies a symbolic or territorial significance.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
