This is one of three small upright features (MA070-166003-; MA070-166004-; MA070-166005-), named ‘Monuments’, which are shown to E of Loughkeeran holy well (MA070-166001-) on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. They are indicted on the 1920 edition as ‘Monuments (Site of)’. There are no visible remains of these monumental structures, and it is unknown what they represented; one possibility is that they were penitential cairns. There is a church (MA070-167001-) c. 400m to ENE, and a rath (MA070-168----) c. 170m to S.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
