What is recorded here

Knocklomena drops south into the Kealduff valley, where a rectangular stone with a rounded top leans slightly east on a small hillock. It stands 1.68m high and measures 1.15m by .95m at its base, facing north-south. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a loss or simply watch the river bend. Whatever they intended, the stone still holds that tilted line against the slope.

Standing 1.68m high, it measures 1.15m x .95m at base; N-S. It leans slightly to E. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.
