Standing stone in Ballintombay

Standing stone

Why this matters

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, the standing stone may have served as a boundary marker, ritual site, or astronomical alignment point. No specific folklore or detailed use is recorded for this site.

What is recorded here

Price (1967, 479) noted that 'there is a standing stone in a field near Cooladangan which might perhaps be a remnant of some kind of megalithic monument'. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 27 September 2013

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.
