Standing stone in Labanstown

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Mosaic of blue, green and gold tiles spans the chamber ceiling, catching light from below and above. Rooms and corridors continue beneath the hill, waiting for someone brave enough to walk them. The chamber does not breathe, yet it feels alive because every surface still holds the heat of human making.
The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Situated in flat, low-lying land to N of small ridge. Thin, slate pillar (max. dims. H 1.9m, 0.9m by 0.1m in section) orientated roughly NE-SW.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
