What is recorded here

Brambles strangle the base of a two-metre conglomerate slab on a steep ridge in County Limerick, hiding the foot while the concave SE face catches light like a cupped hand. The stone tilts NE-SW across rolling pasture, its flat N edge sharp against the sky, waiting for someone to press a palm into the hollow and remember why it was chosen.

Situated in a gentle depression on the steep N-facing slope of a ridge in rolling pasture with good views in all directions. Upright conglomerate slab (H 2-2.2m; Wth 1.3-1.9m; Th. 0.4m), long axis orientated NE-SW. It is concave on the SE face and flat on the N face. The stone is partially obscured at the base by brambles.

Probably dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, given its form and orientation. Likely served as a territorial marker or ceremonial focus, though specific folklore or use is not recorded.
