What is recorded here

Described in 1942-3 as following; This is a very doubtful site, but the structure may be a very devolved megalith. It consists of a large boulder of limestone resting on a number of quite small stones under its centre. The small stones have not been placed with any particular care or arrangement. The maximum height of the top of the boulder is 4' [1.2m]. The stone measures 8' [2.4m] north-south and 5' 6" [1.7m] east-west' (O'Kelly 1942-3, 232). Boulder visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 3 March 2020
