Standing stone in Glandonohoe

Standing stone

What is recorded here

Glandonohoe holds a tall stone on the northern slopes of the Nagle Mountains, overlooking the Blackwater valley. It rises two metres one, tapers to a point and leans slightly west. People may have set it there to mark a boundary, honour a loss or watch the valley below. The stone still performs that quiet human job, unchanged since the hands that placed it forgot the reason.
On the N slopes of the Nagle Mountains overlooking Blackwater valley. Standing stone (H 2.1m; max. dims at base 2.1m x 0.8m), aligned N-S, tapers to a point and leans sligtly to W. (pers. comm. B. Monaghan and P. Foley) Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 7 December 2012
