What is recorded here

Killary holds a diamond-shaped standing stone beside its church graveyard, marked by a hacked western edge where someone once tried to destroy it. The stone still stands, suggesting that the attempt failed or stopped before completion. Its strange shape and damaged surface turn a quiet churchyard into a place where human violence and patience collided.

There is a standing stone with a diamond-shaped or D-shaped cross-section (dims 0.5m N-S; 0.4m E-W; H 1.1m) inside the perimeter at S of the graveyard at Killary church (ME012-020----). Its top has a N-S crest (L 0.3m). An attempt had been made to destroy the stone and its W side has a hacked appearance. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 August, 2014
