Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Carrownlabaun is an upright stone in County Mayo, Ireland. It stands beside a field fence on a low rise, looking toward the Ox mountains. The stone has been visible on maps since the 1830s, suggesting people recognised it long before modern records. Its circular shape and earthfast base imply it was set or left in place deliberately, though no human name or date remains attached to that act.
In pasture, located on a low rise, with views of Ox mountains to S-SE. A NW−SE field fence, bordering a minor road, lies 6m to W. This standing stone is shown on the 1837-8 and the 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of an upright, earthfast stone (H 1.55m; max. Wth c. 1m), with a roughly circular cross-section.
