Unlocated standing stones or possible stone circle described in the 19th century as 'there were some years ago at Magherymore, close to the town, several of the Druidical upright stones, common in Ireland. The climbing of these stones was heretofore one of the holiday pastimes of the young men of Shinrone. The peasantry looked on them as finger stones of, thrown thither from Binduffe Mountain, by Finn-mac-Coole and his companions in a trial of strength. ' (Cooke 1875, 187).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
