What is recorded here

An earlier report (OPW 1968) recorded that this standing stone had been moved from the location marked on the OS eds. to a point 6m to E. Original position was just SSE of the summit of a high drumlin ridge. It comprised an irregular, hard, composite boulder (H 1.15m; dims. 0.85m x 0.62m) noteworthy for the numerous streaks of quartzite in its composition. The stone has been removed from the second position in recent years and is now unlocated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

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