Located in mixed woodland at the bottom of an E-facing slope, and just beside Tober Patrick holy well (LE028-065001-). It is described in gothic lettering on the 1835 and 1911 editions of the OS 6-inch maps as a ‘Standing Stone’. It is not a prehistoric antiquity but a small stone (Wth 0.38m; H. 0.6m; T 0.07m) set in the ground and bears an inscription which is now illegible apart from the date ‘1775’. The inscription was recorded in the 1830s (OSNB No. 84, 14) as ‘Pray for Mark Meuly by whom this cross was erected in honour of St. Patrick, 1775.’ It is recorded in the 1930s Schools’ Manuscripts as: ‘IHS Pray for the soul of Mark Meale by whom this stone was erected in honour to Saint Patrick 1775.’ For the Schools Manuscripts see this web-page accessed on 12/04/2017: http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4658426/4654168
