What is recorded here
Situated in a marshy field immediately W of St Molua's church (LA015-023001-). This standing stone, aligned N-D, is roughly D-shaped in plan (H 1.1m; Wth at base 1.6m, T 0.35m) and tapers towards the top. The area around the base of the stone is hollowed out, probably the result of cattle using it as a scratching post (pers. comm. Elizabeth FitzPatrick).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
