What is recorded here

Standing stone in Carns (duke) is a standing stone in Carns (duke), County Sligo, Ireland. A gneiss boulder measuring about 2.0 by 1.5 by 1.2 metres lies on its long side within a shallow stone packing that extends northwards from a nearby cairn. Its present position and shape leave open the possibility that it once stood upright on its short end.

The following description of the monument has been published by Bergh (1995, 233): ‘Due N of the cairn [SL014-231----], there is a stone packing c..7m long and 3.5m wide extending northwards away from the cairn. The height of the packing is c.0.35m. On the northern part of this packing there is a gneiss boulder, measuring c..2.0 x 1.5 x 1.2m, lying on its long side. From its present position and shape it cannot be excluded that it once was set standing on its short end.’ (Bergh 1995, 233; Fig. 31, 235) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 19 May 2016
