Standing stone

What is recorded here

Situated on a broad, low plateau in the valley of the Clodiagh River. Conglomerate stone with an irregular cross-section (dims. 0.2-0.4m x 0.7m; H 1.25m) oriented NW-SE which has been damaged. It is located 12m W of an enclosure (WA006-007----). An inspection in 2012 found that this stone is no longer at this location. The present location of the possible standing stone is unknown. The above description is based on that from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 December 2008 Date of revised upload: 15 May 2012 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly
Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the stone's orientation and positioning suggest it may have had a ritual or ceremonial function, possibly linked to solar or seasonal alignments. No specific folklore or detailed use has been recorded for this site.
