What is recorded here

The precise location of a standing stone in the townland of Kilpeacon has not been identified. Described by Begley (1906, 21) as following; ‘In Friarstown North, there is a large stone 7 feet high, 5 feet broad, and 1 foot thick, supported by stones set on edge, which being removed, human bones of an extraordinary size were found underneath the monument. At Kilpeacon, about a mile distant, there is also one of a similar kind.' Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date upload: 11 August 2020

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.
