What is recorded here

Carrickittle holds a limestone pillar forty-six inches tall, standing sixty feet north of an old fosse. The stone is not a distant myth but a visible marker in County Limerick, large enough to touch and sturdy enough to have watched the field change for centuries. It may have guided a route, marked a boundary or accompanied a ceremony now forgotten.

Standing stone described by O'Kelly (1944, 16) as following; 'In the next field to the N. of the above monument [LI033-028----] there is a small standing stone, which is 60' [18.3m] to the N. of the fosse. It is a limestone pillar 4' 6" [1.37m] high by 3' 6" [1.06m] by 1' 9" [0.53m]'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 09 August 2019
