Stuckerd (Pillar Stone) is a standing stone in Carrickard, County Sligo, Ireland. Wood-Martin (1883-4, 448) described a large pillar stone on the summit of an earthen mound near Kilmactranny church. The 1914 OS map places the site about 50 metres southeast of Kilmactranny graveyard, but no visible remains of the stone exist there now.

Wood-Martin (1883-4, 448) refers to it as 'a large stuckerd, or pillar-stone, on the summit of an earthen mound' close to Kilmactranny church (SL041-038001-).
