Standing stone in Bunacrower

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Bunacrower is a rough pasture where a rectangular stone rises two metres from the grass, packed at the base by smaller rocks. It faces east and west like a marker for a road no longer walked. The land around it is ancient, human and uncertain, but the stone remains visible and unafraid of forgetting.
In rough undulating pasture. Standing stone (MA118-041----) c. 100m to S. Roughly rectangular in plan (H 2.4m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.2m), main axis orientated E-W. Packing stones protrude at the base. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 52. Date of upload: 20 November 2013
