What is recorded here

The OS Letters describe a large stone (L 2.44m; Wth 1.22m; T 0.92m) on the Commons of Rathcoole which was known locally as the 'Long Stone' in a field called the Long Field. Not precisely located. (Herity 2001, 38)

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

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
