Standing stone in Scarvy — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Scarvy holds a rectangular stone nearly two metres tall, pointing its top toward the sky in a flat landscape bracketed by hills. Its edges align northeast and southwest, suggesting someone once judged that direction worthy of marking. The stone still stands where human hands set it, waiting for the lost reason to return.

Situated in a low-lying landscape with hills to the W and E. This stone has a rectangular base (dims c. 0.95m; x c. 0.65m; H 1.72m) that is roughly aligned NE-SW and a pointed top. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 8 May 2018
