What is recorded here

Holed stone in Brickeen is a holed stone in Brickeen, County Sligo, Ireland. The upright limestone slab stands in a boundary wall between Brickeen and Bellanagarrigeeny or Castlebaldwin. Its circular hole extends obliquely through the stone and appears natural rather than made by people.

In a wall bounding a narrow road which forms the townland boundary between Brickeen and Bellanagarrigeeny or Castlebaldwin. A limestone slab (H 0.7m; Wth 0.55) set upright in the stone wall. A circular perforation (diam. 0.15m) centrally placed c. 0.55m below the top of the stone, extends obliquely (D c. 0.35m) through the thickness of the stone. This stone was described by Prof. R. A. S. Macalister (d. 1950) in an undated report (SMR (1989) file). The perforation appears to be a natural phenomenon. Compiled by: Archaeological Survey Unit, UCC with revisions by Patrick F.
