What is recorded here

Denis Power recorded the Carrowmore standing stone in 2011: a 2.1m sandstone block, nearly rectangular but with a triangular edge, set in level pasture with its long axis running east to west. Near the top on the east side a crevice holds the stump of an iron peg, as if someone once marked, tied or warned at that exact place. The stone does not claim to be a temple or a border; it stands as a rough, patient witness in an open field, waiting for people to remember why they bothered it.

In level pasture. A roughly triangular upright stone (H 2.1m) of sandstone that is approximately rectangular in plan (Wth 1.85m; T 1.2m), with its long axis aligned E-W. A crevice, near the top of the stone on its E side, has the stump of iron peg embedded in it. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, given the form and context of standing stones in Ireland. The crevice may have had symbolic or ritual significance, possibly used for offerings or as part of a wider ceremonial landscape associated with burial or worship.
