Standing stone in Ballyroe Upper

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Billy O'Brien of Kilfinnane first noticed the rectangular stone rising from flat Ballyroe Upper pasture, where wide countryside views stretch in every direction. It may belong to prehistoric times, though age and purpose remain unclear. A person could have stood beside it to mark a boundary, honour a loss or simply enjoy the openness, but no written account preserves that life. The stone still stands in ordinary daylight, waiting for someone to remember why it was set there.
In flat pasture with good views of the surrounding countryside. Possible prehistoric standing stone rectangular in plan which was identified by Billy O'Brien of Kilfinnane. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by James and Billy O'Brien Date of upload: 21 February 2022
