What is recorded here

Fifty metres north of Teampall Mac Duach, a plain limestone slab stands fifty centimetres tall above grass, its sides worn smooth by cattle rubbing against it. The church lies behind, the field stretches forward, and the stone belongs to neither or both. It may have marked a burial, a boundary, or a place where people gathered before the church was built. Or it may be nothing more than a post for animals to scratch, standing witness while the meaning drains away.

Located c. 50 m to the N of a church known locally as Teampall Mac Duach (GA110-044001-). This upright rectangular limestone slab (H 1.09m; Wth 0.66m; T 0.12m) is aligned N-S and is regular in outline. Both faces are undressed, the E face is rougher than that facing W. The sides are worn by cattle. Its function is unclear; it may be associated with the church to the S or it may possibly be a scratching post. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload 18 January 2016

Likely dating to the early Christian period, this pillar stone may have had a ritual or commemorative function, possibly associated with the nearby church. Its alignment and regular form suggest it could mark a sacred space or serve as a boundary or waymarker.
