What is recorded here
On a rise on a gentle S-facing slope. Described as an upright stone (dims c. 0.75m x c. 0.3m; H c. 3m) known as 'Clogh-na-Stuakeen' or the stone of the little hill and as 'Clogh-Cam' or the crooked stone (D'Alton 1845, 86), but D'Alton was confusing the latter name with that of a stone at Knocknacorha (RO010-049----) c. 4.5km to the E. The stone at Tullyboy is no longer visible. Moylurg castle (RO010-010001-) is c. 140m to the W. Archaeological testing (06E1051) NW of the monument during 2006 produced no related material (Morahan 2010).

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone may have functioned as a territorial marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical feature. Local names suggest associations with small hills and possibly early agricultural or ritual activity.
