Standing stone

What is recorded here

According to Power (1908, 199) there is a field in Glennashagh townland called 'Liagán - "Pillar-Stone"; the name is applied to the field in which the pillar stands'. This suggests that there is a possible standing stone in the townland, though its precise location is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 30 September 2014
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the standing stone in Glennaskagh may have had ritual or territorial significance. The field name "Liagán" reflects a long-standing local tradition associating the stone with a prominent landmark or sacred site.
