What is recorded here
Knockeenadallane held three standing stones on M. Nunan's farm, but only one survived the breaking and removal of the others. The survivor stands one foot high with a girth of ten feet three inches, a stubby shoulder of the original seven-foot stone. What the lost stones marked, whether boundary, burial or warning, has gone with them. The remaining stub still occupies the field, waiting for someone to remember why the others were taken.
Bowman (1934, 259) recorded standing stone in M. Nunan's farm; 'This was originally over 7 ft high, part was broken off, the remaining portion is c. 1ft high by 10ft 3in girth. It is said that two dallans (in addition to above) were in Mr Nunan's but were broken and removed'. Exact location not known.
