Standing stone in Luggacurren

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Cloughleeken stands on Froghney Hill near the Dun of Clopooke, a pillar stone marked in the townland of Luggacurren. It is not a boundary marker or a tomb, but a visible witness, the kind of stone people point to when they want to remember that the land has watched them back.
Unlocated Standing stone within townland mentioned in the History of the Queen's County as "' Froghney Hill, near the Dun of Clopooke, there is a pillar stone and it is known as Cloughleeken' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 58). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
Probably dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age, the stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Its association with a nearby "dun" suggests a possible link to early Irish settlement or ritual practices.
