Standing stone in Lisdarush

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Lisdarush is a short limestone marker beside a hillfort above Lough Melvin, not a mysterious ancient monument. It stands on a shallow ridge where the land tilts toward open water, visible enough to find and small enough to overlook. A person may have set it there to mark a boundary, a path or a remembered event, while the lake continued moving light across the valley below.
Situated on a slight NE-SW ridge on the lower NW-facing slope of Saddle Hill, and overlooking Lough Melvin which lies to the NE. There is a limestone standing stone (H 0.7m) in the NE quadrant of hillfort (LE008-004001-), which is probably not ancient. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 January, 2016
