Standing stone in Carnafeagh

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Carnafeagh holds a 2.2m stone, narrowing from 2m to 1m across a 0.3m body, set WNW-ESE inside a roadside wall on poor pasture. It is the kind of place where people may have marked ownership, prayed in storms or simply watched cars pass after dark. The stone does not need a heroic story; it needs to be seen without turning it into a toy.
A standing stone 2.2m high × c. 2m wide at base narrowing to 1m at top × 0.3m thick; WNW-ESE. It stands in a roadside wall on poor pasture land.
