What is recorded here

Standing stone in Com Na Heorna Thoir is a 2.5m tall rectangular stone that fell during cottage works near 2006 and was moved beside a septic tank. It had stood on the lower SE slopes of Cahernageeha, just W of the Coomnahorna river, with packing stones visible at its base. The nearby pair and four-stone row suggest the valley once carried more than one marker, perhaps for a boundary, a road or a memory no longer spoken.

This standing stone, not indicated on the OS maps, is located in a farmyard on the lower SE slopes of Cahernageeha, just W of the Coomnahorna river. About 100m to NE is a pair of standing stones (KE106-023001-), and 275m further NE is the four-stone row at Garroughl (KE106-126001-). The stone, of regular elevation, and with a rectangular basal plan, inclines towards S. It stands 2.5m high and its basal dimensions are .85m x .5m; NNW-SSE. Packing stones are visible at its base. During building works to the adjacent cottage c. 2006, the stone collapsed and was relocated to the garden of the house where it now stands beside a septic tank (see KE106-131001-).
