What is recorded here

Standing Stones is a standing stone in Killerr, County Roscommon, Ireland. Three narrow rectangular limestone pillars stand in a staggered line at the west end of a slight ridge, with a shorter stump positioned northeast of the eastern stone. All four stones protrude from an old grass-covered bank, and the site appears only on the 1929 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map.
