Why this matters

Probably dating to the Early Christian or medieval period, this standing stone may have had a funerary or territorial function, given its proximity to the graveyard. Its D-shaped cross-section is characteristic of later monumental traditions in Ireland, though its original meaning or use remains unclear.

What is recorded here

Granite pillar (H 0.9m; Wth 0.3m; T 0.2m) with a D-shaped section. The top is missing. The stone is within a small triangular area (dims. 35m E-W; 15m N-S) separated by a shallow ditch from a graveyard (WI006-012----). Situated on the floodplain of Ballydonnell Brook. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
