What is recorded here
Standing stone in Grangegeeth is an upright stone in County Meath, Ireland. It stands at the south edge of a level plateau beside rock outcrop and a fallen stone. The shape is small enough to touch, yet old enough to have watched several human lives pass without being asked to explain itself.
Located in an area with rock outcrop at the S edge of a fairly level plateau, close to the crest of the S-facing slope. This was described in 1969 (SMR file) as an upright stone (dims 1.2m NE-SW; 0.57m NW-SE: H 1.56m) in an area of scrub with another stone (L 1.25m; dims 1m x 0.55m) lying prone nearby.
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.
