Standing stone in Moig

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Standing stone in Moig is a small limestone upright in County Limerick, Ireland, leaning slightly east on a broken pasture slope. Its sharp corners have been rubbed smooth by cattle, while its rectangular body still points northwest and southeast across the field. The stone may have marked a boundary, a memory or a place for prayer before people stopped noticing it. Now it stands among grass and animal life, patient enough to outlast the hands that first shaped it.
In pasture, on a break in a N-facing slope. A limestone upright (H 1.18m; Wth 0.28m; T 0.21m), leaning slightly to the E, with its long axis aligned NNW-SSE. It is rectangular in profile and in section. The stone's corners have been rubbed smooth by cattle. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
