What is recorded here

Situated on top of a low ridge. The stone, now in a recumbent position (max. dims. L 3.1m, 1.7m by 0.9m in section), is composed of a flaky shale and appears to have had one end chamfered to fit into a pit in the ground. It was re-erected in 2016. (CLAJ 1910, 296; 1962, 165) The above description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 1 December 2016
