Standing stone in Ballyroe Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Billy O'Brien of Kilfinnane identified the rectangular stone with its tapering top, joining two others within three hundred metres. They stand in flat pasture beside an old laneway, near a motte and Glenduff Stream. The cluster suggests a forgotten gathering place where people marked time, territory or memory before records existed.
