What is recorded here
Indicated as outcropping rock is an anomalous stone group in Carrigeens (carbury By.), County Sligo, Ireland. A standing stone aligned northwest-southwest measures 0.80m long, 0.55m wide and 0.95m high. A large block 0.90m by 0.80m and 0.70m high sits beside it at the northwest end. The block does not appear set, and its base is visible on the southwest side.
Situated on a gentle N-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Standing stone, aligned NW-SW (L 0.80m, 0.55m %; H 0.95m) with large block (0.90m x 0.80m; H 0.70m) beside it at NW. The latter stone does not appear to be set and its base is discernible on SW side. The exact nature of this monument is unclear and the possibility that it could represent the last remnants of a megalithic tomb cannot be ruled out.
