Standing stone in Rathcronan

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Mortons and O'Donovans both claimed Rathcronan, but the stone belongs to neither. It is a low triangular slab of limestone, barely taller than a man's chest, set on a pasture rise with small packing stones at its base. Alignment alone does not make a temple, yet people have looked at this mark for generations and seen more than rock.
On a low rise in pasture. This low, narrow, roughly triangular-shaped limestone slab (H 1.16m; Wth 1.1m; T 0.24m) is aligned E-W. It is widest at the base where there are a number of small packing-stones. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 December 2012
