On Ballinreavy strand, a rectangular standing stone of pinkish granite. This first came to notice in January 2012 when it became exposed at the edge of the dunes. The stone measures 1.75m high above ground level, 0.55m wide at the base of N broad side and 0.28m on the S narrow side: it tapers to c. 0.5m X 0.2m towards the top. A horizontal crack on the seaward S side is not reflected on the other broad N side facing into dunes. There are a series of stones around the base some of which are very loose: these are of local schist. The stone was inspected again in May 2013; it had fallen over and split in two along the crack noted in the above report (pers. comm. P. Harvey).
