Unlocated standing stone on OS sheet number 13 as described in the OS letters which state on Moy Reta or the Plain of Riata, was the name of an extensive plain in the county of Leix comprehending the entire of the great Heath of Maryborough and probably the entire level country extending to the foot of Dunamase and the round hills of the Heath. This plain was anciently called Laoighis Reta and on it there was a stone called Leac Reta, at which the boundaries of the seven cantreds of leix anciently met (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, p. 75).
