Standing stone in Killacolla (shanid By.)

In pasture, on top of a low rise in a generally flat area. An upright stone (H 1.3m; Wth at base 1.8m; Wth at shoulder 0.5m; T 0.2m) that is roughly triangular in profile and section, with its long axis aligned E-W. It leans slightly to the SW. The edges of the stone have been rubbed smooth by cattle, who have also poached the ground at its base. There are two other slabs embedded in the ground immediately to the N (L 1.3m; H 0.35m; T 0.25m) and to the S (L 1.4m; H 0.48m; T 0.1m) of the upright. Further smaller stones are strewn about the immediate vicinity. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
