What is recorded here

OPW topographical files (1947) record a rough stone with a perforation (10cm by 5cm; D 7.5cm) close to one edge. Close to the opposite edge was a shallow hollow (diam. 10cm). There was a megalithic structure (MA040-063002-) 6.7m to S and a standing stone (MA040-063003-) 2.4m S of the latter. All three features were removed from their original locations and buried during land reclamation work. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 8 June 2020

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the holed stone may have had a ritual or functional use, such as a ritual object, boundary marker, or part of a ceremonial landscape. The perforation and hollow suggest possible use in string suspension, alignment with celestial events, or as a component in a megalithic monument.
