The precise location of this possible standing stone on Cromwell Hill has not been identified. It was described in 1922 as follows; ‘Between these cairns [LI033-050001-/059----], in the "dip" of the hill, is a small limestone pillar 5 feet ten inches (1.8m) high by 10 inches (0.25m) by 9 inches (0.23m); now used for a gatepost, pillar, 5 feet 10 inches high by 10 inches by 9 inches, now used for a gate-post, but (like the little pillars on the Eagle Mount, near Bruree, and Knockastoolery, near the cliffs of Moher, in Co. Clare) probably set up in early times’ (Westropp 1922, 77). Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 29 March 2021
