What is recorded here

Located in a burial ground (MA044-009001-). The burial ground survives as a low mound (14.5m ENE-WSW; 10.2m NNW-SSE). The standing stone is located at the SW edge of the mound. It is a National Monument in State ownership (No. 423). It consists of an upright, subrectangular-shaped stone (H 1.46m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.23m), tapering to a point at top, and aligned NNE-SSW. It tilts slightly to WNW. Moran (1942, 149) recorded that the W face is divided into a number of 'diamond shaped figures by intersecting lines'. These 'lines' are natural faults in the stone. There is a cross-inscribed pillar (MA044-009002-) located a few meters to NE, at the centre of the burial ground. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 18 June 2018
