Standing stone in Kilcavan Upper

Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the bottom of the NW-facing slope of Tara Hill. The top of the stone (H 0.25m) is protruding through the top of a field bank (H c. 1m) and appears to be oriented E-W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 15 March 2012

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ritual or territorial function, possibly linked to the broader ceremonial landscape of Tara Hill. No specific folklore or detailed archaeological investigation has been recorded for this site.
