What is recorded here

Dunheeda’s standing stone still points NW-SE at the edge of a drumlin ridge, its blunt top reaching 1.2m above the ground. It is not a grand monument, but a small sharp marker in the landscape, the kind of place where people may have gathered to remember, warn or belong. The stone does not need a heroic story; it needs to be seen clearly and left unharmed.

Situated towards the SE end of an NW-SE drumlin ridge. A stone with a rectangular cross-section (dims 0.5-0.7m NW-SE; 0.65-0.7m NE-SW) has a blunt pointed top (H 1.2m) and is roughly aligned NW-SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Meath' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1987). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 31 August 2018
